Ingo Lyrics

[Mich:]

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 -

Cannot let you go



Though the sea tastes sweet upon your lips

[Marilisa:] Though the sea tastes sweet

And your hair a tangled mess

And your hair [? 2.57]

Though you hear your father's voice at night

Come away with me, my child

As you try to lie at rest

Come away...

Cruel Ingo holds him 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...



[Both:]

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
