Sweet Embrace
Elsa swam across the sea
With lead lined boots, her heart did quake
Her love lies deep below
To his tomb she means to go
Her life so empty it cannot be filled
Of promises that time will heal
His desire for treasures he wished to find
His greatest treasure he left behind
Her tear-filled face when last he breathed
Too late the penny dropped, his eyes closed
She is now forgotten
Her lead lined boots reached the mud below
Her heart filled with a sudden glow
She found her love in a pool of light
Made from cold green sea
She held his hand, heard her name whispered from his lips
Held by time and tide, they lie together now
In sweet eternal embrace…
