When life becomes a sea of pain
And every moment agony
I must endure again, again,
It is a curse to have to be. And every moment agony,
And every longing fixed on death;
It is a curse to have to be
And fight by instinct for each breath. And every longing fixed on death
Even as I must go on
And fight by instinct for each breath,
Sailing thus, though loved, alone. Even as I must go on,
You watch me helpless from the shore;
Sailing thus, though loved, alone,
I need you with me all the more. You watch me helpless from the shore
As I endure again, again;
I need you with me all the more
When life becomes a sea of pain.
