[Lyrics for Eric Margan & The Red Lions – An Ocean Blue]
I was walking on the bottom
of an ocean blue when I saw you.
Skin as fair as pearl,
chestnut hair that curls,
hazel eyes imbued with sunrise hues.
Oh Poseidon,
how long had you kept her from my view?
For when our eyes did meet
(such soft familiar heat)
I fell in love with you before I knew.
And when you kissed me,
for a moment the world was calm.
You tied the earth around your finger string,
I made the heavens sing their siren song.
O, I love you.
I’ll love you until all time is dead.
Then under paper moon,
I will lay with you and rest my weary head.
Take a train where
deep we sleep among the silent faces.
As golden sunset breeze
shakes starving winter trees,
like the flood of love’s embraces.
And when you kiss me,
for a moment the world is calm.
You tie the earth around your finger string,
I make the heavens sing their siren song:
“You can’t blame it on the sun because
you’d be fighting a losing war.
So point your attention over here, my dear.
For I’m the one who went and stole your heart.”
I was walking on the bottom
of an ocean blue when I met you.
