Daphne

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
