It's a disappearing
Like watching someone you love slip down underwater and sink, sink, sink
And it's as if you slipped from my finger that last time
Like a ring from my finger
And you glinted and winked in the light as you drifted down, down, down
Yes, my sweet beloved
Like a ring sinking slowly to the bottom of the ocean
Slipping further and further away from me
All the days of our lives fall away from the light at the bottom
And the time, oh, the time that emerges between us as you slip down, down, down
Out of my grasp
And I can't see you any longer
The darkness, my sweetness
I'vе cried and cried, cried an ocеan for you
But no tide will bring you back to me
No tide will wash you back, my sweet beloved
My nameless one
The light dies, the light dies
And you are gone
