Mermaid

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
