Verse One
Floating darkly under the moon,

In a boat of night time dreams,

Two lovers floating past breezing leaves

Thoughts of love flowing in streams.

Chorus
Sailing by the light of the moon,

You and I on tender waves;

Forever and ever can end too soon,

The cradle rocking to the grave.

Verse Two
Now that you've found me, search no more

Don't let the wind carry you away.

I'll hold you close and tight as this oar

That dips and rows through night and day.

Chorus
Sailing by the light of the moon,

You and I on gentle waves;

Forever and ever can end too soon

The cradle rocking to the grave.
