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
