You Brought Me Up
You brought me up and out of the waterYou brought me up to forgetI had ever been, I could ever breatheIn the water under your heartI darkened your door and your days you saidYou couldn't sleep the nightWith the sound of the sea hard on my heelsClimbing the stairs to your bedYou promised me gloves from the skins of the fishesThe smile of the dolphin for a ring in my handsBut you left me with nothing but a mouthful of airAnd promises wide as the oceanYou left me down for once and for allYou left me out in the openUnder mackerel skies, high and dryAnd out of the reach of our seaWay out of reach and out of my depthI wear your love like a skinThat hurts when anyone touches meWhere you left me downFor once and for allWay out of reach of our seaSongtexteYou promised me gloves from the skins of the fishesThe smile of the dolphin for a ring in my handsBut you left me with nothing but a mouthful of airAnd promises wide as the oceanYou brought me up and out of the waterYou brought me up to forgetI had ever been, I could ever breatheIn the water under your heart Aus Songtexte Mania
