• A Thousand Fathoms Deep

We swam against the tide for as long as we could
‘Til the waves took us down to meet our doom.
I gripped her hand as the water swayed
But I grew so tired and she slipped away.
The tears I cried mixed with the sea,
And I lost myself to a dreadful dream.

I woke in the cold of the ocean’s depths.
For many years it seemed I’d slept.
And all around me faces loomed,
And one spoke out from beyond the gloom
He said, “I am king of the whale’s road.
Give me good reason to let you go.”

I told him I came from beyond the waves
Where I loved a girl with eyes of grey.
And for many years our path was clear -
Then we found ourselves upon the shore.
The ground beneath our feet collapsed
And we fell into the ocean black.

“What can I do but ask you, sir,
To let me find my way back to her.
She was the truest love that I
Have ever had the luck to find,
And I will not rest, for night or day,
Until she’s in my arms again.”

The king, he laughed and he shook his head
“But I’ve seen the things you’ve done,” he said.
“The truest love that you ever knew?
Well it doesn’t mean that you were true.
You took her love and you never gave
The same to her, so here is where you’ll stay.”

So here I lie, until the day
That the waves have washed my bones away.
Never more to see her face
Or look into her eyes of grey.
A ghost upon the ocean floor,
A thousand fathoms deep in my despair.
