he took me by the hand and led me down
into the water and promised i wouldn’t drown
the sun did shine then, it’s touch was warm
but i didn’t know it was the calm before the storm
i felt the tide rising and looked into his eyes
saw a glimmer of the moon, it took me by surprise
the skies had darkened, my blood ran cold
the water turned freezing, i was not foretold
his grasp, it weakened and i felt the ocean take me
echoed in my mind was his promise to not forsake me
the sea opened up and swallowed me whole
i wouldn’t have come if only i’d known
