Lyrics
I send a wish o’er the ocean blue
And to the Northern Star
To be with you
Though we’re worlds apart;
I’m singing, I’m calling
With all of my heart
And here I’ll be, at the edge of the sea
Where waves dance on the shore
Adrift, I’ll wait
For as long as it takes
To love you forevermore
My tale begins with childhood friends
In a little town I knew;
A maiden, young and resplendent
And a sailor tried and true
They’d sit together by the bay
They lived life hand in hand
But one fateful day, he was called away
To sail off to a distant land
The maiden walked the harbor line
As her lonely spirit yearned
She’d pass the time with song and rhyme
Old sailing tunes she’d learned
But softly, from the ocean’s depth
A voice answered her own
Two strangers met in a strange duet
And no longer sang alone
I send a wish o’er the ocean blue
And to the Northern Star
To be with you
Though we’re worlds apart;
I’m singing, I’m calling
With all of my heart
And here I’ll be, at the edge of the sea
Where waves dance on the shore
Adrift, I’ll wait
For as long as it takes
To love you forevermore
Everyday they met this way
As the days turned into weeks
Together they would sing and play
The music of land and sea
But the siren bore a secret hope
A love she feared to share
With every lyric and every note
It grew larger than she could bear
But when the sailor was to return
A storm blew through the bay
The maiden wept for she was sure
He’d been lost to the waves
So for her love, the siren roamed
The sea for miles and miles
To find the sailor and bring him home
To see her maiden smile
The siren’s search was over at last
When the wreckage came in sight
And draped upon a broken mast
The sailor clung onto life
With not another soul around
And the ship on the seafloor
She swore to keep him safe and sound
And carried him back to shore
The maiden came to find her friend
Still weak, but yet unharmed
This time with joy, she wept again
And took him in her arms
And though the siren tried in vain
To hide her lovelorn tears
She swam away with a quiet refrain
The maiden couldn’t hear:
I send a wish o’er the ocean blue
And to the Northern Star
To be with you
Though we’re worlds apart;
I’m singing, I’m calling
With all of my heart
And here I’ll be, at the edge of the sea
Where waves dance on the shore
Adrift, I’ll wait
For as long as it takes
To love you forevermore
The siren waited for some time
Before she dared return
She swam beside the harbor line
As her lonely spirit yearned
But from a passing sailboat’s deck
A voice answered her own
The siren’s lament then became a duet;
She no longer sang alone
I send a wish o’er the ocean blue
And to the Northern Star
To be with you
Though we’re worlds apart;
I’m singing, I’m calling
With all of my heart
And here I’ll be, at the edge of the sea
Where waves dance on the shore
Adrift, I’ll wait
For as long as it takes
To love you forevermore
My wish came true o’er the ocean blue
Beneath the Northern Star
I’ll stay with you
Though we’re worlds apart;
I’m singing, I’m calling
With all of my heart
And here I’ll be, where the land meets the sea
And waves dance on the shore
For you, I’ll wait
For as long as it takes
And love you forevermore
