Darling, forgive me
I know that you told me
Not to stay up through the night
But the day's growing long
And the ice is all gone
It's time you returned from the fight
This crazy excursion
Their pride and coercion
A better man will not make you
But I knew at that second
That the Arctic had beckoned
And your place was there with the crew

And I'm not quite sure what it is
you think you have to prove
I've tried so hard not to despair
As I'm writing to you
But I've never been quite so scared
when I think about you
I hope it's not true

Two years have passed
Since I saw you last
From your crew there's been nary a sound
Your daughters are home now
And though you've never met them
Soon they will need you around

And I'm not quite sure what it is
you think you have to prove
I've tried so hard not to despair
As I'm writing to you
But I've never been quite so scared
when I think about you
I hope it's not true

In my nightmares I'm falling
The sirens are calling
The wreckage is drifting away
Where are the others
My comrades, my brothers
Have I been led so far astray?
I reach out my hand
To a shadow of land
But the ocean is where I will stay

And though dreams are but figments
Of imagination
Here is the postman
Head hung in resignation
And now I have come
To this realization
To this letter not written by you
And whatever life brings
At the end of all things
I know that you'll carry me through

And I'm not quite sure what it is
you think you have to prove
I've tried so hard not to despair
As I'm writing to you
But I've never felt quite so lost
when I think about you
For I know that it's true
