Lyric

By the pale-lit shore I stood

Where silence echoed deep

In your eyes that saved my life

I never learned your name

The warmth of your silver scales

Slipped through my open hands

Even if it was only a dream

My heart remembers you

That night I woke at sea

Your shape blurred in the spray

No words reached your lips

But your gaze held love so pure

I reached for that single light

Even if it meant losing my world

For you I'd write this song

Even if my life turns into foam

If someday we meet again

Under drifting stars above the sea

May my voice still find its way

To the shore where I sing alone

Though my hands could never reach

If my love remains unchanged

Then I hope across the distant tide

You still smile somewhere beyond

A man can't cross the ocean deep

A mermaid can't fly the sky

But in my heart we've never strayed

Always you were near

The city moves the seasons turn

But time stands still in me

I stay in place unmoving

Still searching for your name

You vanished into the sea

Your tail swept by the night waves

Why couldn't I reach for you?

Why didn't I ask your name?

Even if you'll never be human

Even if we never speak a word

I still just want to see you once

That is my one true wish

Your song still echoes in the waves

I remember every note

Even if the world splits us apart

Our hearts share the same star

I hold my hand above the sea

Crying out your name again

It vanished softly in the surf

But I never once forgot

Even if this love is buried deep

Even if the sea hides you away

I'll still sing here by the shore

For the mirage of our time together

If I must turn into foam and fade

Let me say this before I go:

My beloved—thank you

And still today I watch the sea

Even if I can't see your face

Please let this voice reach you

Even as foam I loved you still

That's the truth I hold
