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
