My Hope Still Floats

Pop64

Where on this very ship I travel

 

Upon the waves so crested strong

 

The mast it breaks, the sails unravel

 

For here is where I don’t belong

 

My heart is there with you, my dear

 

But, on this sea, alone, am I

 

With dreams to just then hold you near

 

As soon this ship will sink, I’ll die

 

 

 

Yet, for the love that we had shared

 

I’m grateful then and this I cry

 

 

 

But, if the sun should warm the bow

 

Calm the waves that break the stern

 

I’ll pray again, that here and now

 

My love for you forever burns

 

As God may take me in his hands

 

Sparing my life then on this day

 

I’ll find you on those distant lands

 

I will, my love, of this I say

 

 

 

My heart forever remains just yours

 

To see you again, this too, I pray
