The Octopus's Lament

[Verse] In the quiet deep sea Where shadows softly hide An octopus you see Swam with silent pride [Verse 2] Her colors blend and fade In sapphire oceans wide Memory like a shade In currents where she cried [Chorus] Oh do not disappear My friend of fluid grace Your heart is ever near Though lost in this vast space [Verse 3] Tentacles like gentle waves Reach but find no hold In the deep dark caves Her story left untold [Bridge] Whispers of her ghost In the tide's soft lullaby She loved the ocean most But now we say goodbye [Chorus] Oh do not disappear My friend of fluid grace Your heart is ever near Though lost in this vast space
