A.A. Bondy - Of the Sea lyrics

Give me your hand And I'll take you down Oh, can't you see that I'm dyin' to drown And don't hold your breath, my dear Oh, don't hold your breath, my dear And our love, it is true So there's not much to do As the air in our lungs Starts to hiss And the ocean, it rolls And the depths take their toll When we get to the bottom, We'll kiss And the crush of the deep Our secrets'll keep And the mermaids, they drift In the dark With the salt all ablaze And the ships where they lay There must be great fear In a spark So here we will stay All the demons at bay From our arms and our eyes It seems Away from the dirt, Beneath the skirt Of the sea, We won't wake from our dreams
