Despite What Youve Been Told

When jealousy raps on the door

"To whisper your dreams away



They say you've loved too hard

Enough to enrage the gods

And now there's hell to pay"



And with your name upon my lips

I sunk down

And relived your farewell kiss

As I drowned



So I went off in search of advice

Though you warned me to think twice

"I see death on the sea my love"



I said "I'll return before long

And we'll live in the light of the dawn"

We heard faint laughter above



And with your name upon my lips

No one's ever loved like this

I sunk down

And relived your farewell kiss

As I drowned



Run and see run to the shore

And at your feet on waves I'll roll

Still asleep drenched to the core

And we will love like gods once more
