You are a mystery my Queen of the Sea
I know I’m headed home, headed home
You shone a light on the dark side of me
And I’m never letting go, letting go
You are a mystery my Queen of the Sea
I’m holding onto your memory
For I saw a siren while sailing alone
Wait on your island cos I’m coming home
You are my eyes and I’m coming home
I chased your heart from the coast to the land
And I felt the breeze as you fled through the sand
You swam through my barriers and taught me to cry
I was a shipwreck and you were the tide
Oh my beating heart, beating heart
And when there were storms overhead
I was still singing your song
Now all the rumours are dead
Fear not my love, it was yours all along
So hold tight, sleep well
I’m coming home
So what did it mean to you was it ok?
I never believed I could love this way
You changed my ways and I’m yours now to keep
You’re safe by my side and I’ll hold you when you sleep
And if distance dare cometh to take you away
I’ll hang on each cloud ’til you float my way
Im not a rich-man, but I tell you I'm strong
Oh I'm strong,
Strong enough to fight through the dawn,
Strong enough to carry you on
Every drop of my beating heart
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you my love
You are my eyes and I'm coming home
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you my love
Oh my beating heart, beating heart
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you my love
Fear not my love it was yours all along
All along
All along
You are my island and I’m coming home
You are a mystery my Queen of the Sea
You shone a light on the dark side of me
You are my mystery my Queen of the Sea
Will you marry me, marry me?
