Years ago I saw a waveless ocean   Far and great, beyond everything I knew   Nights were glowing, the days too long   For a young man's dreamland and his fancy-song      We lay together on summer-meadow islands   Amazing eyes turned towards the oldest silence   We tried to catch a glimpse of our past   Our primal sea, so deep and vast      All I know, a black hole's coming closer   Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning me      If I dreamed of my most precious moment   I would point at the sparkling waveless ocean      All I know, a black hole's coming closer   Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning hand      All I knew, a fever burned within me   Hold me on, I hope it never comes again
