Down by the water I can still see your face
Hopelessly wandering
This heavy shiny cage
An opalescent crown of lotus flowers
Colours your pale skin
As sap floods into your veins
I'll count your hair when days are long
As long as you're near, you ghost
I'll count your hair when days are cloudy, darling
Down by the water sirens sing their plainchant
Brushing your ears until
Your heart is covered in silvery scales
I'll count your hair when days are long
As long as you're near, you ghost
I'll count your hair when days are long
I'll count your hair when days are long
As long as you're near, you ghost
I'll count your hair when days are cloudy, darling
