The Moon, The Prince and The Deep Blue

In the moonlight, a tide was born, it ebbed and flowed

like love in a ladies heart, it flowed away from me

into the deep blue sea there are many fish

so the sea beckons me to find that lost treasure

I walked the sandy beaches, my footprints left a trace

of those lost shadows of yesterday that I chase

I find no peace, no solitude from this love

Yet the sea beckons me to believe

It shall carry me away, as I watch the waves

The clouds drift by hiding the moon from me

Still it moves the water which I float upon in dreams

I taste the salt in my mouth and feel the breeze in my face

Once she thought him beautiful, her prince

in her fanciful way she saw him standing before her

like a fairy tale, she thought him handsome once

in tales of armor He was handsome and brave

and he shined in her dreams He will save me she thought

it was her castle, her sanctuary, where he prevailed

He got on his knees on the floor begging her for more

I’m begging darlin please, please believe in me

Love me like you used to, pretend I’m your young man

Can’t you see I need your love, I need it bad

Can’t you see I want your body, I can taste it

There ‘s plenty of jelly fish love, but I’m your shark

and I will bite but never draw blood, so give me a bite

from the one I love and the deep blue sea

I can be your prince in shining armor to be kissed

and taken as a paramour for your loving waves

So goes the tale of the moon, the prince and the deep blue
