Total bit of fanciful fairy-tale fantasy - water nymph probably. Anyway - it doesn’t go too well for her. See you should never mix mortal with the immortal…

Lyrics:

If you see me floating in the water
reach me down a hand and pull me free
Let me stretch my wings out in the sunlight
and when I have dried out then walk with me

And we can walk together by the river
close and hand in hand like children do
and even if we cannot have forever
now and for tomorrow I love you

I am not the same as all the others
you see that on my shoulders I have wings
I came out of the space behind the moonlight
I’ve diamonds in my hair and silver rings

And will you take one silver ring from off my finger
a token of our time here in the sun
and when we meet again then you will know me
and know by my despair what you have done

You told me that the leaving doesn’t hurt you
but what about the ones that you have left
even for the shining and immortal
I tell you that it hurts us like a death

I will stretch me face down in the river
drift out and drown my sorrows in the sea
If you see me floating in the water
reach me down a hand and pull me free
