Neptune
Years ago I came to you, down beneath your ripples
Submitting to the mystery of life beneath the waves
Years I floated near you, swimming in your Subterrain
Rocking in the opium embrace of Triton's tomb
Time I lost just fussing over every little thing you asked for
Let myself keep fading, silver fishes through my skin
Somewhere I stopped breathing, but I missed the kiss of air
I cut the waves and left you there and ne'er returned again
Someday in my castle keep where rumors fly and questions creep
They'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep?
I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep
I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep, oh
There's no light where you are (my Neptune)
To the mountains I will fly (away from you)
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back to the realm of the sky
Years ago I came to you in love and doomed to drowning
Beholden to the mystery of life beneath the waves
Years I floated near you
I will never see again
How I could tarry in the opium embrace of Triton's tomb
Oh, the time I lost, just fussing over every little thing you asked for
Let myself keep fading, silver fishes through my skin
Somewhere I stopped breathing, but I missed the kiss of air
I cut the waves and left you there and ne'er returned again
Someday in my castle keep where rumors fly and questions creep
They'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep?
I'll say I knew him once, but he was asleep
I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep
There's no light where you are (my Neptune)
To the mountains I will fly (out of this gloom)
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back to the realm of the sky
Years ago I came to you in love and doomed by what I knew
And though I miss the mystery now of life beneath the waves
Thin air's as sweet as water when your body begs to breathe
And so I leave when I must leave
Don't weep for love I couldn't save
And all of us who dare to love are brave, oh
There's no light where you are (my Neptune)
To the mountains I will fly (away from you)
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back where I belong
There's no light where you are (my Neptune)
To the mountains I will fly (out of this gloom)
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back where I belong
Someday they will ask me (going back where I belong)
And I will say someday they will ask me
They will say, what of the lord of the deep?
And I will say, I'll say I knew him once (i knew him once) but he was asleep
I'll say I knew him once (I knew him once) but he was asleep
I'll say I knew him once (I knew him once)
I'll say I knew him once (I knew him once)
I'll say I knew him (I knew him once), I knew him (I knew him once)
I knew him once (I'll say I knew him once)
(I'll say I knew him once)
(I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep) I knew him once
I knew him once
Submitting to the mystery of life beneath the waves
Years I floated near you, swimming in your Subterrain
Rocking in the opium embrace of Triton's tomb
Time I lost just fussing over every little thing you asked for
Let myself keep fading, silver fishes through my skin
Somewhere I stopped breathing, but I missed the kiss of air
I cut the waves and left you there and ne'er returned again
Someday in my castle keep where rumors fly and questions creep
They'll say to me, what of the lord of the deep?
I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep
I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep, oh
There's no light where you are (my Neptune)
To the mountains I will fly (away from you)
Free from the waves into new love's arms
Back to the realm of the sky
Years ago I came to you in love and doomed to drowning
Beholden to the mystery of life beneath the waves
Years I floated near you
I will never see again
How I could tarry in the opium embrace of Triton's tomb
Oh, the time I lost, just fussing over every little thing you asked for
Let myself keep fading, silver fishes through my skin
Somewhere I stopped breathing, but I missed the kiss of air

Someday in my castle keep where rumors fly and questions creep

I'll say I knew him once (I knew him once)
I'll say I knew him (I knew him once), I knew him (I knew him once)
I knew him once (I'll say I knew him once)
(I'll say I knew him once)
(I'll say I knew him once but he was asleep) I knew him once
I knew him once
