Chopin my darling,
your brow is so warm
come off to my island
you'll come to no harm
I'll hold you and keep you
and guard you most dear
protect you from all
of the things that you fear
you haven't the power
the strength nor the way
to care for yourself
and to write and to play
come off to my island
leave all else behind
your music will prosper
as well as your mind
I'll lock you away where
your genius will thrive
I'll give you my heart
and I'll keep you alive!
