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, into the blue The waters, they parted As she rose to shine 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 ♪ Beneath the waves and marbled rocks Watery canyon of blackest depths My hope was sunk My dream taken away 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 The waters, they parted As she rose to shine 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 ♪ Beneath the waves and marbled rocks Watery canyon of blackest depths My hope was sunk My dream taken away Taken away (Taken away)
