Daughter Darling - Mermaid lyrics

rate me

I live where you can't see me

Hiding away in the shadows of the deep

I swim into the bottom of your world

For every space I cross I see a thousand pearls

I breathe what I know you fear

All the sounds I love, you will never hear

I know what it is that turns beneath your feet

Floating on the surface of my enchanted sea

Close your eyes and take my hand

Hold your breath as long as you can

We'll leave behind the storms above

And swim into the seas of our love

Your skin is pale and not the shade of mine

Your eyes are darker than the blackest midnight tide

I can't resist from taking you with me

Becoming what it is that all young children dream

You have to leave as soon as you awake

*The sun will come and* then this dreamy spell will break

*But when you leave know that I'll be waiting here*

Waiting for your sleep so I can re-appear

*Close your eyes and take my hand

Hold your breath as long as you can

We'll leave behind the storms above

And swim into the seas of our love*
