about

Based on Nocturne Op.4 No.2 By Janos Gaspar Mertz

lyrics

The fish is in the bed
Where the water won’t keep his speckled head
From drying up
You would dry up, too

But a friend’s a friend who always comes
The ones you love float over you

The fish is on the chair
And no water will reach him there
So far from sea
You’d be homesick, too

But a friend’s a friend who always comes
The ones you love float over you

Foamy wave and algae bloom
Barrel down, bringing gloom
But there’s always some light left on

But a friend’s a friend who always comes
The ones you love float over you

Salty krill, siphonophore
What are all your numbers for
But to keep company and be safe?

But a friend’s a friend who always comes
The ones you love float over you
