Through the mist my ship has sailed, leaving me behind All things left unsaid, that were in my mind When I stood on this deck, strange things I saw Strange they have vanished now I'm standing on the shore Sandy hills all around, nothing standing clear Softly light is falling through, time was never here When I stood on this deck, stranges things I saw I'm standing on the shore Headlands fading out of sight, horizons disappear Hazy shores and silent seas, nothing so I fear Air and water, grass and sand, merging into one In the silence of the mist, I am still alone When I stood on this deck, strange things I saw Strange they have vanished now I'm standing on the shore Standing on the shore
