I could steal away
From underneath these sheets
Through dark and quiet streets
Gently close the door
Slip off to the shore
To where the fishes sleep
Go where the fishes sleep
Burrow hands into cool sand
The moonlight washes me
Surge of tide pulls at my side
The shifting endless sea
Set off through the waves
Towards a distant light
A ship alone at night
So far away from shore
Hear a siren's call
From where the fishes sleep
From where the fishes sleep
Drifting free at one with the sea
A salve to soothe an ache
Swim away out past the bay
Is this a dream from which I'll wake?
Is this a dream from which I'll awake
Or a salve to soothe the ache
That pulls like a riptide
I could steal away
From underneath these sheets
Through dark and quiet streets
Gently close the door
Slip off to the shore
To where the fishes sleep
Go where the fishes sleep
