Seduced by the dance of the moon’s rippled light
A tango with the black water shine, entwined
I bare my soul on the wind to fly
I bare my skin to the air tonight

I breathe the dark, I’m the night’s heart
As I run across soft sand
I catch the breeze, spirit, to the sea
Through sky and stars, I'm the night's heart
I dive down toward the deep
Where tall arching waves swallow me

Entranced in rhythm with the waves steady break
Caressed in their white frothy wake, I play
I dare the sharks, I’m mermaid tonight
Then sail ashore on the last high tide

I breathe the dark, I’m the night’s heart
As I run across soft sand
I catch the breeze, spirit, to the sea
Through sky and stars, I'm the night's heart
I dive down toward the deep
Where tall arching waves swallow me

Drying out asleep in island dolphin dreams
I wake before the sun or anyone sees
I breathe

I breathe the dark, I’m the night’s heart
As I run across soft sand
I catch the breeze, spirit, to the sea
Through sky and stars, I'm the night's heart
I dive down toward the deep
Where tall arching waves swallow me
