Endless it seemed Sky and sea surrounded me It was blue as far as I could see But near was the breeze That brought the boat about to west from east Saying: "Land is not far from reach And there you can put your feet down Solid is the ground " And that was how I knew I would come to you. I drifted along To where winds and waves carried me It was blue as far as I could see But firm was your hand An uncut jewel was your land Of cypresses, stony hills and golden sand You said : "Here you can put your feet down Solid is the ground ." And that was how you asked me to stay with you.
