Fathom Songtext
von Frost*

My love came to me on a summer ray
And they married us on a perfect day
And we made such plans of a better life
My husband and his ever bride

For I am in love and there is no cure
Desire now and for evermore
The time to come oh I will adore
I sail the waves with you in my heart

In the August light we came back to town
And we kept our peace as we settled down
Then the Navy man, he came to our door
And he told us that there was a war


But if my love should leave, life would bear no joy
So I dressed myself as a cabin boy
Then I volunteered on that self-same day
And we put to sea bound for far away

For I am in love and there is no cure
I′ll be by your side now and evermore
The time to come oh I will adore
I fight the waves with you in my heart

So the weeks pulled by and we soldiered on
But I knew by then there was something wrong
And I lost wit as I fell by the gun
And when the surgeon came, all my strength had gone

I heard you cry when you stroked my hair
And your tears fell down through the brimstone air
What came of our plans for a better life?
My husband


For I am in love and there is no cure
I leave you now and for evermore
Remember me now as you did before
Beneath the waves with you in my heart
