i came from the sea
reflected by the moon
and as the waves broke around me
i heard a solemn tune

the water fell around me
making circles around my immersed head
the light shone through like glitter
as my heart dragged me down like lead

the sand beneath my feet was soft
making mountains between my toes
the seaweed stroked my saturated skin
and as she sang her song i rose

pulled like the tide towards her voice
she coaxed me, ever nearer
and as the final drips slipped from my feet
the song, it only became clearer

she sang a song of sorrow
while my heart it turned and twisted
her voice it grew in volume
and my ears could not resist it

i've been stripped of all i'm worth
as i stand here, alone and naked
and my heart still cries and mourns
though the song has long since faded
