The Mermaid Song

You would live in the water

Away from me

Away from me

And I try to find you there

In the blue, your golden hair

You weren't meant for me

We seek excuses, but I know I see you

In the sombre deep you keep me warm

For every wish that I suffer, you suffer two

And wait for me

It's not a lie, I swear that I know you

It's in your eyes

It's a place called home

And I'll descend and learn to breathe water

Or drown in your arms

But I won't be alone

Tell me what do you see when

You look at me

You look at me

And there's northing like a dream

To make us understand

The word no

The word no

I could never believe

That you're just a dream to me

And if you need to return to the depths

Let me swim in you one more time

And you can hurt me

And I think I'll let you

Just to prove to you that

I can't swim but I try

And now that we've reached

What compels you to return to the secret earth

It's not a lie, I swear that I know you

It's in your eyes

It's a place called home

And I'll descend and learn to breathe water

Or drown in your arms

But I won't be alone
