Neptune's Daughter Lyrics - Divine Comedy

When the last course has been consumed 

They withdraw to the drawing room 

Where the Schubert she plays with style 

Keeps her friends happy for the while 

But the memories are a burden, 

So she draws back both the curtains 

Stepping out into the night 

As the glow from the house recedes 

And their voices blend with the breeze 

She is free to be who she will 

Free to skip barefoot down the hill 

Maybe she is Neptune's daughter 

For she's drawn towards the water 

Stepping out into the night

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

The water cold against her skin 

Conceals a multitude of sins 

And laughing like a little girl 

She enters an enchanted world 

Where seaweed girls with silver tails 

Play games upon the backs of whales 

They want her to come home with them 

They grab her legs and drag her 

Down again, down again 

Into the sea he strides 

And takes her in his arms 

And he carries her back to shore
