Daphne

Lyrics

[Refrain] 12, 11, 10, 9 Outside my house, I've built a shrine 8, 7, 6, 5 But I have dreamt he's still alive 4, 3, 2, 1 In the lantern light, his voice is sung Row, row, row, row The time is right for us to go [Verse 1] Bloom the night in all her darkness Daphne froze in her white nightgown Cotton bill'd around her body The sea is calling me down The sea is calling me down [Verse 2] Bloom the night in all her darkness Daphne froze on the precipice Years of tears have salted her body And she cried nevermore And she cried nevermore [Refrain] 1, 2, 3, 4 For you, my love, I'll wait no more 5, 6, 7, 8 Lay your kisses to rest at the garden gate 9, 10, 11, 12 Because I've got to save myself Row, row, row, row The time is right for you to go
