Neptune's Daughter |
| When the last course has been consumed |
| They withdraw to the drawing room |
| Where the Schubert she plays with style |
| Keeps her friends happy all the while; |
| But the memories are a burden |
| So she draws back both the curtains |
| Stepping out into the night… |
| As the glow from the house recedes |
| And their voices blend with the breeze |
| She is free to be who she will — |
| Free to skip barefoot down the hill |
| Maybe she is Neptune’s daughter |
| For she’s drawn towards the water |
| Stepping out into the night… |
| The water cold against her skin |
| Conceals a multitude of sins; |
| And laughing like a little girl |
| She enters an enchanted world |
| Where seaweed girls with silver tails |
| Play games upon the backs of whales; |
| They want her to come home with them — |
| They grab her legs and drag her down again |
| Down again… |
| Into the sea he strides and takes her in his arms |
| And he carries her back to shore… |
