Underwater fantasies

I fell asleep with mermaids
In the ocean swell
In the corners of their seaweed castle
Soft kelp beds served me well

Next to three pretty fish
I fell in love with one.
Salty eyes and sugar lips
Whose morals lay untouched...

(Yet)

I can't swim myself
So I can't save myself

My dreams revolve around her seas
And hers about my land
When I won't swim and she can't walk
Nature never understands

The night the sky was melting
When I fell in love with thee
These mermaids they were fighting
Fighting over me

(Yet)

I can't swim myself
So I can't save myself.

"For I have lost, I cannot stay.
While you're the price I must pay."

Face first in salty spray
A scar cross her head, had she
This lovely heart I could have saved
When I only thought of me.
