Word for word I think of things to say
As I drift along throughout my day
I think of you when you are away
I can't love you anymore this way
Slowly as I drift off into space
I look down as you're smiling back at me
I just got lost in my mind again
I can't love you anymore then...
Across the ocean, across the sea (You're never here but in my dreams)
I'd sing a song, but I can't speak (Word for word please tell me)
Now I know this can't be right (I'll never know if you don't tell)
I think that this, this could be love
We walked along the beach of Normandy
Met a mermaid swimming in the sea
Stuck between our toes are grains of sand
I just dreamt this up inside my head
The water was so wet we could not wait
We grew fins and gills and swam away
To the bottom of the ocean where we'll stay
I can't love you anymore then...
Across the ocean, across the sea (Come back my love / Reach out your heart)
I'd sing a song, but I can't speak (Word for word please tell me how)
Now I know that I might be living in a fantasy but
I think that this, this could be love (Reach out your heart/arms)
