White Sail Lyrics


Raise a white sail if you love me
A black sail if you don't
Seal me up in an impregnable tower
Or surround me with an impassable moatI've heard all the stories told about love
Unattainable and pure
But there is one love of which I'm sureYour fear as honed as a battle axe
I'll bear my neck, I'll wear the scar
And if my nerve should fail the task
I know your faith will not roam too farI've heard all the stories told about love
Two souls into one
But this tale of love is one we've just begunIsolde had her Tristan
But love potions are not what we need
And Paris had his Helen
But it was infatuation that was plain to seeWhat I desire is your trust to inspire
This love for you which grows in mePlant a rose tree on his grave
And on mine plant a vine
As seasons pass and markers fade
Watch them slowly intertwineI've heard all the stories told about love

'Til death do us part
But our love is a vow which has been wrought
From heart to heart
From heart to heart

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Born in Paris in 1974, Emma recalls as a young girl she was far too shy “even to make a noise let alone to sing” and her family were not particularly musical. But her musical passions were aroused at the age of eleven when she heard the Queen Of The Night from The Magic Flute. It was a moment of transcendence, although to her amused embarrassment, Emma admits this introduction to the world of opera and bel canto came via a television commercial. Nevertheless, a life-long love affair was forged. "I ran to my bedroom and tried to sing the tune immediately.
