Day by day I must watch her from afar.
She sings to me the sweet lover’s song
And it breaks my heart.
She is perched upon her rock
Combing out her hair
Or bathing in the sun,
I cannot help but stare.
Her hair is red as fire,
A flame I dare not touch.
Her eyes, bluer than the ocean,
This pain is just too much.
My sweet love if you would but
Just dare to swim near,
I’d sing my song for you
So my heart you could hear.
