Lyrics: Leah Goldberg
Music: Gil Dor
You sent the owl to me
To shatter my repose
You taught him well to
Cry out words of love in pleading prose
But I will not come
I will not,
I will not
You've plagued me with the bitter scent of
Seaweed and the moon
You've made the ocean heave and sigh
In a lovers swoon
But I will not come
I will not,
I will not
The waves have kissed my feet
The hem of my snowy-white dress
In your voice they said to me
Come with a lover's caress
But I returned unto my rooms
Closed the door
Shut the window tight
My heart is asleep
I am asleep
