You brought me up and out of the water You brought me up to forget I had ever been, I ever breathe In the water under your heart
I darkened your door and your days, you said You couldn't sleep the night the sound of the sea hard on my heels Climbing the stairs to your bed
You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes The smile of a dolphin for ring in my hands But you left me with nothing but a mouthful of air And promises wide as the ocean
left me down for once and for all You left me out in the open Under mackerel skies, high and dry Way out of the reach of our sea
Way of reach and out of my depth I wear your love like a skin That hurts when anyone touches me Where you me down for once and for all Out the reach of our sea
You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes The smile of a dolphin for a ring in my hands But you left me with nothing but a mouthful of air And promises wide as ocean
You brought me up and out of the water You brought me up to forget I had ever been, I ever breathe In the water under your heart
