lyrics

drowning in the moon
the moon and the mer
the heart's a frozen lake
did you find me there

with wisdom wounds I wear
your blue tattoo
and your chestnut hair

i think of you from time to time
as the rays pour from above
and the oceans still shimmer
won't you sail away my love

true love, you said
is a treasure chest
bound and gagged
at the ocean bed
but how can it be
how can it be
when you sailed across
the sea of japan
to me

i wish you well
and in time
we may meet eyes again
or we may never
be more to each other
than a vision
on an ocean
from the sand
