[Verse 1 - female voice] The sea is still, but my heart roars loud, It calls your name through every cloud. I stand where we once said goodbye, And trace your face across the sky. Your ship is lost beneath the stars, But I feel your soul in every scar. Each wave that breaks against this shore It whispers you, forevermore. [Chorus - duet male and female] Ten years and the tide must turn, But hearts like ours still ache and burn. A love condemned to time and sea… You there, and me...eternally. No port, no peace, no warm embrace, Just fleeting dreams and empty space. Yet still we wait, through storm and foam… For ten more years… to come back home. [Verse 2 – Male voice] I sail with souls, but I live for one, Your name, my compass, my rising sun. The wheel I turn is bound in pain, But you, my love, still keep me sane. The ocean's curse, the price I pay, To see your eyes one golden day. I hold your locket close each night, A whisper caught in endless night. [Chorus – duet male and female] Ten years and the tide must turn, Though our fates are cruel and hearts may yearn. Through ghostly winds and salt-stained skies, I wait beneath love’s endless rise. One day, one hour, one fleeting kiss, Then vanish back to the deep abyss. We live in dreams, in songs, in foam… For ten more years… to come back home. [Bridge – male and female duet] The stars remember what time forgets, The vows we spoke, the silhouettes. Though oceans part and fate betrays, My heart is yours...all of my days. [Final Chorus – male and female duet] Ten years and the tide must turn, But love like this will always burn. Though time may steal what we have known... My soul is yours, you are my home. So light the flame, and let it show… That I’ll return...you’ll never be alone. [Outro – female] The sea still calls, the sky still moans… I wait for you… to come back home.
