Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow

I am puzzled as the oyster
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you

  • 4/5. you sang good, he played very well. BUT, its like u just sang it and was kinda bored of the song in some bits. the soul kinda flew away. and came back.. kinda annoying ^^ And your face expression isnt the song, So less mind work on thoose and more to the song.

    Good work

  • @mastahaxx

    Thanks, for your comment. I agree on face expression: the video is not very close to the mood of the song, but it's in playback. We made all for joke, recorded the guitar, the voice and then the video, with this annoying effect. All in 20 minutes. I don't I can get bored of the song, but I can understand It could seems so. Next time I'll try to do it better :)

  • Bhe noi siamo stati decisamente più "Imprudenti" :)

    Ma per noi è stato un gioco e l'abbiamo fatto senza troppe pretese. Ovviamente non c'è voglia d'emulazione, ma solo passione per Tim e le sue canzoni. Grazie del commento e spero di poterti sentire cantare in futuro :)

  • Molto bravi,

    bellissima voce e grande interpretazione

    la canzone è meravigliosa, ma voi ci mettete dl vostro e di certo non in negativo.

    5 stelle!

  • Grazie davvero di cuore.

  • preferisco questa versione a quella dei this mortal coil e di david gray... il che è già tutto dire. complimenti :) mettetela come video di risposta a quelle più viste che merita questa versione

  • Grazie davvero, sei fin troppo buono. E' un video fatto per gioco con mezzi di fortuna (la webcam, mic e line-in del portatile) in una manciata di minuti. Però ci siamo diverti molto. Io adoro Tim e il mio amico Roger è un chitarrista fantastico :)

    Insomma zero pretese, per lo avevamo aggiunto come risposta al video del Monkees Tv Show, ma poi è stato rimosso come risposta. Grazie ancora a te e agli altri che hanno commentato.
