Mermaid (The Beginning of Times 2011)

Текст песни Amorphis - Mermaid (The Beginning of Times 2011)

[Verse 1]
On the blue waters of mermaids
I was sailing on the blue
Brought up a catch of strangest wonder
On the blue

And I drew my knife to gut
What I had taken from the blue
But it was gone, back to the lake
And vanished into the blue

[Pre-Chorus]
The waters, they parted
As she rose to shine

[Chorus]
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
Returned to me this one time
I did not know her, I made her flee
Flee from me

[Post-Chorus]
Beneath the waves and marble rocks:
Watery canyons of blackest depths
My hope was sunk
My dream taken away, taken away
[Verse 2]
Woe to you, she said to me
As she broke cover of the blue
Don’t you know me?
I couldn’t be yours after all
I never knew

[Pre-Chorus]
The waters, they parted
As she rose to shine

[Chorus]
She was my maid, my wife-to-be
Returned to me this one time
I did not know her, I made her flee
Flee from me, flee from me

[Post-Chorus]
Beneath the waves and marble rocks:
Watery canyons of blackest depths
My hope was sunk
My dream taken away, taken away
Taken away
