Out of the depths I called unto you, come

Your return shall rekindle the spark in my eyes

Neither done nor forsaken the touch of your hand

To the sound of your laughter shall glow here again

Out of the depths I called unto you, come

'neath a moon that shines brightly your way back to me In your ear whisper ask again

Who is it that calls to you tonight, listen

Who sings aloud under your window

Who stakes his soul just for you to be happy

Who’ll lend his hand to build you a home

Who’ll lay his life down under your footsteps

Who like the earth at your feet shall live on Who’ll love you better than all of your lovers

Who’ll save you from the rage of the storm

Out of the depths
