Mermaid's Wintertale

In nights when the moon shines, she's full of unrest
Because her heart often cries for some gentle caress
When dawn rises up and she takes the first breath
Of the new day, she knows that not much she had left.

Anywhere else would be more joy to find
Than here in this place where her memories unwind
Of summer that's gone such a long time ago
Delusions confessed under cold winter snow.

I do believe that my life is not mine
I'm weak and I fear that it will take sometime
To find somewhere to be where my heart can be free
For a moment of light surely waits there for me.

Beyond the endless hallway to the soul
In the most scaring depth of this nightmare's black hole
Gazing at freedom in white, fragile hands
She takes a first look at the first time she'll dance.

His divine embrace will enchant this occasion
His kiss will bring her to her knees if she dares
To open the gates to her most inner self
She will get more than ever she dreamt.

Without a trace of a sound I will leave
And find love in the arms of the man of my dreams
A sailor, a fisher, a child of the sea
Doesn't matter, as long he's gentle to me.

Would anybody ever care for me?
For a girl that lives beneath the sea?
Would anybody ever hold my hand?
For a moment, for a while.
