Suffering

Penelope
Penelope

Don't you miss me?
More than you know
Then jump in the water and kiss me
Penelope, I've told you this before

You know I'm afraid of the water
I'll make sure that you are safe and sound
Come play with me and our daughter
And let's watch our love leave the ground

Oh, I would
But I'd be suffering trying to float the whole time
I would take the suffering from you
Ooh, as good as that sounds, right here I'm just fine
I can take the suffering from you
You know that I prefer my feet on the ground
I will take the suffering from you
Fine, but only if you answer a question or two
Of course

Okay, so let's say I was on the run or hiding
From, I don't know, Poseidon
And let's say he blocked the way home
With giant waves and giant storms (oh, no)
How am I to evade him?
How am I to get home?
Which route should I take?
Where am I supposed to go?

He will chase you high and low
So find a place he'd never go
The one way you'll get home
Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh
It's through the lair of Scylla
No

This is your only way home
The lair of Scylla
But Scylla has a cost
Well, you asked and now you know
Now jump in the water!

Penelope, why?
You know I'm too shy and terrified
I would take the suffering from you
Ooh, for you, I would die, but can't you let me stay dry?
I can take the suffering from you
You should come onto the ship
We'll jump at the same time
I will take the suffering from you

Ah, the things I do for you
