We Met On A Ten Mile Island

Author： Joyce Hemsley

Just a little fantasy！

Sun brightly shining

'twas a beautiful day，

until my love said farewell，

and drifted faraway.

Sun went into hiding

cold breezes touched my hair，

what did I say， what did I do

for him to leave me there？

Down to the sea I wandered，

still feeling sad and blue，

I waited until midnight

when passers-by were few.

Discarding my top clothing，

I swam out with the tide，

To that little dreamy island

only ten miles wide.

There I met a charming sailor

and I told him all my woes.

He said "forget your troubles

that's the way life goes".

He'd also lost his true love

She "tossed him overboard"

How pleased was he to meet me

a new life lay in store.

So early the next morning

we swam home with the tide，

the sun was bright and beautiful；

Now he's a groom and I'm a bride.
