Go down
Down beneath the black water
Go down
Sleep beneath the salt blue
Go down
Down beneath the black water
Someday, Someday
I’ll lay by you

The wind
filled the sails as we wandered
The spray
From the waves cleansed our sins
I gave
up my name to be with you
Someday, Someday
I’ll sleep there too

Go down
Down beneath the black water
Go down
Sleep beneath the salt blue
Go down
Down beneath the black water
Someday, Someday
I’ll lay by you

The sound
Of the cannon ball roaring
The light
From the fire fills the night
The sound
As the mast starts to splinter
Someday, Someday
They’ll claim me too

Go down
Down beneath the black water
Go down
Sleep beneath the salt blue
Go down
Down beneath the black water
Someday, Someday
I’ll lay by you

My heart
starts to bleed as I see it
So dark
is the blood from your chest
you sank
to sleep in that black water
Someday, Someday
I’ll follow you

Go down
Down beneath the black water
Go down
Sleep beneath the salt blue
Go down
Down beneath the black water
Someday, Someday
I’ll lay by you

Dear Love
How I wish you could see her
Her smile
It reminds me of you
I pray
That Gods strength will be with her
Someday, Someday
They’ll claim me too

Go down
Down beneath the black water
Go down
Sleep beneath the salt blue
Go down
Down beneath the black water
Someday, Someday

I’ll lay by you
Sweet child
the day will come dawning
The wind
Will drive firth your sails
Until
The black waves will call you
Someday Someday
They’ll claim you too

So haunting, eerie, even morbid...simply lovely :love: Once again I want to read it over and over again. For some reason I first thought of Edgar Allen Poe's Annabelle Lee poem. I'm not really sure why because really, they aren't that similar. I guess they share a certain quality? :shrug: but either way, this is beautiful, and you definitely have a new watcher!
