Alleen laat in nag
Wandel ek deur
n massa vol
Gesigte sonder verstand
Eensaam vroeg die oggend
Drentel ek deur
n kolonie vol
Borskaste sonder harte
Alleen middel middag
Swem ek deur
n see vol
Bene sonder ankers
Eensaam in die dag
Vlieg ek deur
n hemel vol
Liggame sonder siele
Alleen in die skemer
Scroll ek deur
n foon vol
Mense sonder konneksies
Sailing on endless seas
Lost to broken promises
Floating coast to coast
Captured by east and west
Rusting to shattered anchor
Rescued by time to hoister
Two hearts floating forever
In life, each other's lover
An elaborate tombstone
Of coral reef and limestone
When love was romantic
And being in love - fantastic
When a first kiss was poetic
We haunted the Atlantic
On our waves goodbye
Swem and learned to fly
A honeymoon married to the sea
On the skeleton coast's memory
