Mermaid

Daughter Darling

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

You're eyes will open then this dreamy spell will break

Know when you leave that I'll be waiting here

Waiting for your sleep so I can re-appear
