[Verse 1]
The stillness is deceptive
Mirrored waters, dangling vines
I'm drawn in by the mystery
A dream to make you mine
[Verse 2]
Lilies on the surface
Marsh marigolds above
Shrouding you in beauty
The faintest scent of love
[Chorus]
Are you the Bayou?
Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
Now I'm diving in too deep
[Verse 3]
I slip into the water
A thrill runs through my bones
Driven by desire
Of getting you alone
[Verse 4]
Transfixed by your gaze
Your hair like layered gold
Barely feeling my body
Slowly growing cold
[Chorus]
Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
Pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
I'm diving in too deep
[Verse 5]
The light is disappearing
Your lips taste like wine
Sweet but slightly bitter
They leave a mark on mine
[Verse 6]
I dip below the surface
Beneath the leafy crown
Your wicked smile reveals itself
As I sink further down
[Chorus]
The beauty on the outside hid the view
Of deeper darkness finally seeping through
[Chorus]
Are you the Bayou?
I pray my soul to keep
Are you the Bayou?
I'm diving in too deep
I'm diving in too deep
I'm diving in too deep
[Outro]
Oh my goodness
Thank you, thank you
