all night I heard my mother cry
who was crying for her mother...
who was crying for her mother--
please can I have more time?
please can I have more time?
I'm sleeping in her belly
floating in red salty tears.
can you see me?
can you see me?
I'm already gone.
can you see me?
can you see me?
I'm already gone.
Will I find you tomorrow
bathing in her red sea?
in the whirlpool of her belly
as she dances you dream
as she dances you dream
my mother cries for her mother
who cries for her mother
who cries for hers
cries for hers
no one can hear
but the dark red ocean
that I drink drink drink
till I'm nothing but Sea
this life is no longer mine
this life is no longer mine
I am the Tide
that the Moon draws to her light.
Now the ocean sings softly
in the moon's round belly
this life is no longer mine
this life is no longer mine
but as morning awakes
the moon slips
deep into the sun's embrace
this life was never mine
this life was never mine
can you see me?
can you see me?
I'm already gone.
can you see me?
can you see me?
I'm already gone.
Will I find you tomorrow
bathing in her red sea?
in the whirlpool of her belly
as she dances you dream
as she dances
you dream
