Ingo

I wish I was away in Ingo
Far across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest waters
Where love nor care ne’er trouble me
And I knew you were of water
As my son was forged from earth
And I knew Ingo would draw you
For it’s called you since your birth
And although the great sea moves you
When the tide is high and the moon is low
Don’t forget me, oh my daughter
I regret, my only daughter,
That I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
Though the sea tastes sweetly on your lips
though the sea tastes sweet
And your hair a tangled mess
and your hair ??
Though you hear your father’s voice at night
«come away with me, my child
As you try to lie at rest
«come away, away»
Cruel Ingo holds it captive
Just like your heart, my child
Don’t you listen, oh my daughter,
I regret, my only daughter,
He was drawn to waves so wild,
Drawn to waves
We have tried to keep you grounded
With the oak and berries sweet
Charms to bind you to this land,
To the roots beneath your feet
I would risk it all to save you,
From the life the sea demands
But I cannot step beyond these shores,
Cannot reach those timeless lands
And I knew you were of water
As my son was forged from earth
And I knew Ingo would draw you
For it’s called you since your birth
And although the great sea moves you
When the tide is high and the moon is low
Don’t forget me, oh my daughter
I regret, my only daughter,
That I will not let you go
I will not let you go
I cannot let you go
I wish I was away in Ingo
Far beyond the briny sea
Sailing over deepest waters
Where love nor care ne’er trouble me
