A Little Sacrifice (feat. Percival Schuttenbach)

The Prince did sit aside the sea
Blushing with his Siren

At lengths did they try to agree
Who'd forfeit their environ

A trade for surf
A swap for turf
Who'd cave first and when

For if your goal be paradise
A life with your true love
Ponder all your wants in life
And make a little sacrifice

The water's wet, the beachside's dry
And where they met is where they lie

But where they lay, they cannot stay
The tide is low, now they both know

A trade for surf
A swap for turf
Who'd turn and let go

For if your goal be paradise
A life with your true love
Ponder all your wants in life
And make a little sacrifice

His choice was made aside the sea
A twilit red horizon

For she had finally made him see
His place among the sirens

A trade for surf
He knew what it's worth
To trade foot for fin

For if your goal be paradise
Just give your love a firm nudge
If he sinks to darkest night
Embrace his little sacrifice!
