Neptune

Years ago i came to you
Down beneath your ripples
Submitting to the mystery
Of life beneath the waves.
Years i floated near you
Swimming in your subterrain
Rocking in the opium embrace
Of triton's tomb.
Time i lost just fussing over
Every little thing you asked for
Let myself keep fading
Silver fishes through my skin.
Somewhere i stopped breathing
But i missed the kiss of air
Cut the waves and left you there
And ne'er returned again.
Someday in my castle keep
Where rumors fly and questions creep
They'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep?
I'll say i knew him once but he was asleep.
There's no light where you are, my neptune
To the mountains i will fly, away from you
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back to the realm of the sky.
Years ago i came to you
In love and doomed to drowning
Beholden to the mystery
Of life beneath the waves
Years i floated near you
I will never see again
How i could tarry in the opium embrace
Of triton's tomb
Time i lost, just fussing over
Every little thing you asked for
Let myself keep fading,
Silver fishes through my skin.
Somewhere i stopped breathing
But i missed the kiss of air
I cut the waves and left you there
And ne'er returned again.
Someday in my castle keep
Where rumors fly and questions creep,
They'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep?
I'll say i knew him once, but he was asleep.
There's no light where you are, my neptune.
To the mountains i will fly, out of this gloom,
Free from the waves into new love's arms,
Back to the realm of the sky.
Years ago i came to you
In love and doomed by what i knew
And though i miss the mystery now
Of life beneath the waves
Thin air's as sweet as water
When your body begs to breathe
And so i leave when i must leave
Don't weep for love i couldn't save
All of us who dare to love are brave!
There's no light where you are, my neptune
To the mountains i will fly, away from you!
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back where i belong!
There's no light where you are, my neptune!
To the mountains i will fly, out of this gloom,
Free from the waves into new love's arms,
Back where i belong!
Someday they will ask me (going back where i belong)
And i will say
Someday they will ask me
They will say, what of the lord of the deep?
And i will say, i'll say i knew him once
But he was asleep.
I'll say i knew him once.
I'll say i knew him, i knew him,
I knew him once...
