12, 11, 10, 9

Outside my house, I've built a shrine

8, 7, 6, 5

And I have dreamt, he's still alive

4, 3, 2, 1

In the lands of light his voice is sung

Row, row, row, row

The time is right for us to go

Wane the night and all her darkness

Daphne froze in her white nightgown

Cotton be around your body

The sea is calling me down

The sea is calling me down

Bloom the night and all her darkness

Daphne froze on the precipice

Years of tears had salt her body

As she cried nevermore

As she cried nevermore

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
