Text: Sarah Brightman. The Very Best Of 1990-2000. La Mer.

:
Ancient unkown animals
On a stormy sea
Like Buddha in the water
A velvet energy

As the night takes over
The spirits of the deep
Marvel at his majesty
The whale is in his sleep

Refrain:
Oh, la mer
You're shimmering through
Oh, la mer
Magnificent blue

Shimmering through the water
In search of sanctuary
Currents travel faster
In alien territory

Dancing in the distance
In a puff of spray
In a single moment
The dolphin glides away

Refrain (2x)

Oh, la mer
