[Chorus] Deep under the ocean He feels the warmth of the hands That pulls him into a hug Tightening until the surface of the water Secure here in my arms He listens to the protector Wrapped beneath my tail Until I evaporate after the dark [Verse 2] In her arms, warm is the submerged Without breathing, under; he survives The deep is illuminated by the full moon Which strengthens the translucent mermaid Mother of the sea, the saviour Recounts stories for his curiosity With a little kiss on his forehead The lady holds him for the rest of the night [Chorus] Deep under the ocean He feels the warmth of the hands That pulls him into a hug Tightening until the surface of the water Secure here in my arms He listens to the protector Wrapped beneath my tail Until I evaporate after the dark [Chorus 2] Close your eyes, you may rest I will not let any harm touch you She sang to him, like he’s her son, in an ethereal voice The brings life into the deep so he can sleep in peace [Chorus] Deep under the ocean He feels the warmth of the hands That pulls him into a hug Tightening until the surface of the water Secure here in my arms He listens to the protector Wrapped beneath my tail Until I evaporate after the dark
