Hmmmmmmm Ooooooooooh Aaaaaaaaaaah Soft waves sigh where the sea begins I sing in salt and pearl-strung tides My voice is honey, sharp as pins Come closer, love… the ocean hides A home for hearts like yours and mine My hair is kelp, my skin the foam My lips the shade of coral wine Darling, you’ll never be alone Oh, let the deep become your shrine So sweetly I’ll hold you So deeply you’ll sigh Just one kiss to own you Where the drowned lovers lie My melody owns you No moon, no sky Just the dark, and the cold And my teeth in the tide Sink for me, sink for me Darling, go down I’ll love you forever Once you drown You sang me your lullaby, soft as the spray Your voice tasted sweet… but the salt like a lie Now your webbed fingers tighten, no strength left to fight As the warmth in my veins turns to deep-water night Those pearls were your teeth all along in the gloom Too late I see Death where I’d dreamed of the moon So sweetly I’ll hold you So deeply you’ll sigh Just one kiss to own you Where the drowned lovers lie My melody owns you No moon, no sky Just the dark, and the cold And my teeth in the tide Sink for me, sink for me Darling, go down I’ll love you forever Once you drown Pearl in the moonlight… Just driftwood now… Moon in the black water… No light… no vow… The tide never loved you… ...just let you drown.
