Are You the Bayou?

The stillness is deceptive
Mirrored water, dangling vines
I’m drawn in by the mystery
A dream to make you mine

Lilies on the surface
Marsh marigolds above
Shrouding you in beauty
The faintest scent of love

Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
I’m diving in too deep

I slip into the water
A thrill runs through my bones
Driven by desire
Of getting you alone

Transfixed by your gaze
Your hair like layered gold
Barely feel my body
Slowly growing cold

Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
I’m diving in too deep

The light is disappearing
Your lips they taste like wine
Sweet but slightly bitter
They leave a mark on mine

I dip below the surface
Beneath the leafy crown
Your wicked smile reveals itself
As I sink farther down

Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
I’m diving in too deep

The beauty on the outside hid the view
Of deeper darkness finally seeping through

Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
I’m diving in too deep

Are you the Bayou?
Breath is coming slow
Are you the Bayou?
Or what I’ll never know
Or what I’ll never know
Or what I’ll never know
