S.j. Tucker Neptune
Years ago I came to you down beneath your ripples submitting to the mystery of life beneath the waves. Years I floated near you swimming in your subterrain rocking in the opium embrace of Triton's tomb.
Time I lost just fussing over every little thing you asked for let myself keep fading silver fishes through my skin. Somewhere I stopped breathing but I missed the kiss of air cut the waves and left you there and ne'er returned again.
Someday in my castle keep where rumors fly and questions creep they'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep? I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep.
There's no light where you are, my Neptune To the mountains I will fly, away from you Free from the waves into new love's arms back to the realm of the sky.
Years ago I came to you in love and doomed to drowning beholden to the mystery of life beneath the waves Years I floated near you I will never see again how I could tarry in the opium embrace of Triton's tomb
Time I lost, just fussing over every little thing you asked for let myself keep fading, silver fishes through my skin. Somewhere I stopped breathing but I missed the kiss of air I cut the waves and left you there and ne'er returned again.
Someday in my castle keep where rumors fly and questions creep, They'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep? I'll say I knew him once, but he was asleep.
There's no light where you are, my Neptune. To the mountains I will fly, out of this gloom, free from the waves into new love's arms, back to the realm of the sky.
Years ago I came to you in love and doomed by what I knew and though I miss the mystery now of life beneath the waves Thin air's as sweet as water when your body begs to breathe and so I leave when I must leave don't weep for love I couldn't save
All of us who dare to love are brave!
There's no light where you are, my Neptune To the mountains I will fly, away from you! Free from the waves into new love's arms back where I belong! There's no light where you are, my Neptune! To the mountains I will fly, out of this gloom, free from the waves into new love's arms, back where I belong!
Someday they will ask me (going back where I belong) and I will say Someday they will ask me they will say, what of the lord of the deep? And I will say, I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep. I'll say I knew him once. I'll say I knew him, I knew him, I knew him once...
