I have fallen in love with a magical man.
He lives on a ferry boat, sailing it back and forth across the harbor.
When the gate rises at sunset, my heart follows
And I frolic to the dock, waiting to see his lantern light.
The ocean is a remarkable woman
She pushed and she pulled constantly since the beginning of time
During the night, the ocean sings to the moon but the moon does not sing back
Instead, she watches with a hollow eye, mesmerized by the crash of water.
I have fallen in love with a magical man.
He calls me his ferry princess and I call myself Lucky
To be a sprite in the palm of his hand
It’s the only thing I’ve ever imagined being
Constellations twinkle in my pupils
The stars were bottled in my chest from long ago but when the Love of my Life is around
These flaming hot clouds of gas bubble to the top of my head.
I have been on fire for a long time
I have fallen in love with a magical man
He sails across my body each dawn
This man may love me back this time
But he will always leave at dusk
And I shall wait the shivering hours until he returns
He is all I’ve ever dreamed of.
