lyrics

Vs 1:
Once I was a captain, drowning in the sea,
You were my mermaid, came and saved me
Dragged my discarded body from the wreckage to the shore
Stayed with me till morning, kept me warm….

Vs. 2:
I woke up in wonder with you next to me,
a mystical creature from a realm I've never been
We fell in love by the ocean on the sand
Weeks became months, my hand in your hand

Chorus
We’ll kiss each other and be free
You’ll be transformed and be like me
In an instant your mermaid form would change
And we’d be there forever, naked and unashamed

Vs3.
Jesus was naked when he died upon the tree
When He won His love for all eternity
Adam was too in the garden with Eve
So there must be something to vulnerability

But we've been all hiding since that fateful day
I was hiding till you pulled my body from the bay

Chorus:
We'll know each other and be free
In One Flesh and in One Body
No more wandering by the waves
I was a captain, you were the mermaid, you saved me

We were married by the water with all your mermaid friends
We told them bout the love we found the love that never ends
Years later with our children round a roaring fire
Our voices singing mysteries like a heavenly choir

Chorus:
We'll reign together and be free, I your king and you my queen
No more wandering by the sea
You were a mermaid, I was a captain you love me

Bridge
Loneliness is the sea, Loneliness is the sea, you saved me, you saved me (repeat)
I was a dead man, I was a dead man, you raised me, you raised me
