early one snowy morning
on a distant island shore
seagulls riding on the wind
like dying autumn leaves
silent women wave goodbye
their love sails off to sea
while the winds are waiting
for the ships of destiny

the dragon waits behind
that magical horizon line
fortunetellers speak of treasures
pirates and disaster
will the flag be at half mast
when their love returns from sea
will the raging waves release
the ships of destiny

will the silent women gather here
when leaves are green again
has their love faded
as their footsteps in the sand
or has it grown stronger
- deeper than the mighty sea
while they were waiting
for the ships of destiny
