In The Depths

by Boogienights

In the depths of blue-green water,
underneath the dark dead sea.
There, my love, her soul is waiting,
until I can be with she.

There, where waters loudly crashing,
there is where my heart belongs.
There where sunlight makes its passing,
there where waves beat out a song.

Underneath the rocks and gravel,
under every plant and sand.
There, my love is patiently waiting,
until I can take her hand.

So, on cliffs, my thoughts are racing.
So, the sea below me sighs.
There, I see the seagulls pacing,
calling out a long sad cry.

Now the night is falling 'round me,
so I search my heart and pray.
Then though my eyes are filled with tears, see.
My love calling come to me.

I would wait no longer said I,
taking a step more.
Then the wind was whispering 'round me,
then I hit the ocean floor.

There, my love, her soul was waiting,
She shall be with me forever more.
