Come Now Follow

He’s lonely and waiting for his beloved one
Time passes and no one’s coming to shore
Now yearning and longing he takes the offer
The sea is seducing and promising more
«Sleep now my love
Let the soft waves carry you
Float in silently and fall asleep.»
Come now follow… follow me into the sea!
Come now follow…
Come now follow and I will sing you into soothing sleep
Come now follow… hear the Sea singing!
Come now follow…
He’s willingly changing into the ocean’s young
Groom
He’s looking at the sea, the rain is raging
His heart is lamenting, clouded by tears
Longing for loving he hurls himself to depths
Not seeing the white sails coming to shore
Come now follow… follow me into the sea!
Come now follow…
Come follow and I will sing you into soothing sleep
Come now follow… hear the Sea singing!
Come now follow…
He’s willingly changing into
The ocean’s young groom
