lyrics

Timothy and Isabelle
They met one night when darkness fell
Along the rocky shoreline of the coast

Said Isabelle to Timothy
I'd die you know if you left me
When you are gone, I'm giving up my ghost

Oh my love if you should leave
I'll feed myself unto the sea
Poseidon take me under
As the brother of the thunder

I'd offer myself to the sky
But what goes up comes down they cry
And I've long lost the stairwell
To lead me down to Hades hell

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

But like the water he grew cold
It happens to some men I'm told
She woke up in December all alone

They found him laying on the rocks
His heartbeat ticked like broken clocks
As she called out to him upon the stones

They tell me you've been losing blood
But Timothy, I know they lied
Cos your veins are filled with salt water
And like the changing of the tide

An hour or two before dawn
Like the fleeing waves, you too were gone
My vampire of the shore
You drained me, left me wanting more

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

When Timothy left Isabelle
It left its mark, the stories tell
She cried out to the ocean on her knees

I promised all those moons ago
I'd inundate if he should go
And now he's gone, so let me rest in peace

Oh my love's deserted me
And left me staring at the sea
I'm going to join Poseidon
A man I can rely on

I've added my salt to the blue
In drops of tears I made for you
Instead of staying on my own
I'm off to swallow my way home

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water
Push me over, pull me under, I've
Been waiting I've been waiting here for you
