My heart was broken in two
My love could never be true
She left me here alone
She made the sea a cold, cold home
Under the waves, under the waves
That's where I make my watery grave
Under the waves, under the waves
You know I sleep under the waves

Sarah was her name
And that girl said I'd be her flame
We had a date that night
She said meet me
At the beach in the pale, pale moonlight
Oh well I never meant to do her harm
But I caught her in another guy's arms
Under the waves, under the waves
That's where I make my watery grave
Under the waves, under the waves
I'm gonna sleep under the waves
Into the blue where everything's quiet
I took my baby's life
The same way she took my heart away

My hands held her down
My love, bound
Floated down under the water
She caused me to come and join her
Under the waves, under the waves
That's where I make my watery grave
Under the waves under the waves
Yeah I'm gonna sleep under the waves
