The White Rose on the Isle of Dreams

 

Far away up on the shore
A ship drifts past the Dreamer's door

 

Fading out onto the sea, of Once Again
the sail sets free.

 

Whispers rush from the dreamer's door,
To draw the Captain's heart once more

 

Caressing winds that move the ship
"Please come back and never forget".

 

As memories lap like waves to shore

Two hearts touch like they did once before.

 

Swirling winds dance with grace and
the stars bear witness to love's embrace.

 

Within their grasp the lovers hold
The white rose once red not long ago.

 

So it be there on that distant shore
The Dreamer waits for the Captain adored.
