You Brought Me Up

You brought me up and out of the water
 You brought me up to forget
 I had ever been, I could ever breathe
 In the water under your heart
 I darkened your door and your days you said
 You couldn't sleep the night
 With the sound of the sea hard on my heels
 Climbing the stairs to your bed
 You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes
 The smile of the dolphin for a ring in my hands
 But you left me with nothing but a mouthful of air
 And promises wide as the ocean
 You left me down for once and for all
 You left me out in the open
 Under mackerel skies, high and dry
 And out of the reach of our sea
 Way out of reach and out of my depth
 I wear your love like a skin
 That hurts when anyone touches me
 Where you left me down
 For once and for all
 Way out of reach of our sea
 You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes
 The smile of the dolphin for a ring in my hands
 But you left me with nothing but a mouthful of air
 And promises wide as the ocean
 You brought me up and out of the water
 You brought me up to forget
 I had ever been, I could ever breathe
 In the water under your heart
