Letra Merman de Emiliana Torrini original

When you look into his eyes,
You wish that no one could see him,
Only you could be touched by him,
And you could walk alone by his side,
And if you want to dream with him,
Just close your eyes, and hold your breath,
And you'll find that you can breathe in water.

When you look into his eyes,
You wish that no one could see him,
No one else could see him,
No one else could feel him.

When you look into his eyes,
You wish that no one could see him,
No one else could see him,
No one else could feel him.

When you look into his eyes,
You feel he's telling you goodbye,
He says 'I'm off into the living'.
And your lungs ache filled with water.
You watch how he walks you by.
And all the fish follow him.
You smile 'cause you'll always be his lover.

When you look into his eyes,
You wish that no one could see him,
No one else could see him,
No one else could feel him.

When you look into his eyes,
You wish that no one could see him,
No one else could see him,
No one else could feel him.
