When I found you I was swept away
by tidal waves of passion
Like a sailor drinking rum
beyond the limits of his ration

I'm all at sea and
I'm lost like a vessel with no course
I can't see through the night
and the winds are gale force

The ship sails on
and you are sleeping down below
Now you're in the hold
I'll never let you go
(I'll never let you go)

Love in the dark
In the middle of the ocean
Love in the dark
In the storm of our emotion

I don't need to know the time of day
or night or our direction
Only one thing justifies itself
and that is our affection

We don't look out for the signs
that the current ebbs and flows
And we live in a nest
made for love and not for crows

The ship sails on
And you are sleeping down below
Now you're in the hold
I'll never let you go
(I'll never let you go)

Love in the dark
In the middle of the ocean
Love in the dark
In the storm of our emotion
