Lyrics

Swim with me,

swim with me,

un der the waves of the em ’rald sea.

Dive with me,

dive with me,

down through the depths of a cor al dream.

Come see the crea tures who hide from the moon.

Cloaked by the tide in a mag i cal sap phire la goon.

Fol low me,

fol low me,

in to the bliss of the em ’rald sea.
