Come with me Close your eyes and touch what greets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea Come with me Close your eyes and touch what meets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea Sitting in my room, nothing much to say I heard you calling a thousand miles away I did not mean to hurt you, you took me by surprise There is still a chance if we just close our eyes Oh lady Come with me Close your eyes and touch what greets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea Come with me Close your eyes and touch what meets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea I can't explain this feeling I won't begin to try There is still a chance if we just close our eyes
