Oh hear me now, go sail across the ocean
Oh hear me now, go sail across the sea
Look at how the sun is rising now
Look at how the shadows become pale
And fade away
Oh listen to me, you are ready for this morning
(Ready, come on, time to sail away)
All glistening and bright, finally it’s here
There’s nothing now to keep you tethered to the shore
There’s nothing that is strong enough to hurt you anymore
My Dear
Go on, leave me now, while I’m standing here
Everywhere you go my spirit will follow you
With the angels I will watch over you
And they will lift me up
To meet you in the air
My Dear
So fly my beautiful bird, fly on towards the summer
Winter is over now and you are stronger than before
And I will fly too
I will make my journey
I will feel you on the wind that moves
Through my hair
And I will cry for you
But when the journey’s over I will look for you
I’ll meet you in the air
My Dear
