"On the ship that sails
Into the heart of my heart
The red streams run white
Into the dream of solidly kissed night
And she is dressed in white
Always in white
And she was like a queen
Neither mother nor a whore
Her radiant bright essence
Blinded me blind
And I saw what I saw
And believed it true
Oh, God, what a fool
I was just another among the others
And lesser did hold
The hope I held for the tomorrow
When the groom grasped gold
And the band found the hand
My ship had hit land
My bride had not been true
And spade in hand
I dug a wedding bed
In our darkest of hearts
And will until death do we part"
