00000This is the song on the CD that is included with the Sharlie book. I sang the melody free-form, and then added the back-up vocals afterward.
00000Beneath the Water is the first song recorded using the ancient language of the Ildyr Magai (the "old magic") that is found in Sharlie. The language is meant to be beautiful when it is sung.

BENEATH THE WATER

When I dove into the water
it felt like a dream
like a mermaid with flowing wings
flowing down down down
deep and away
down down deep
and away

To a lake beneath the water
shimmering new
like an ocean of morning dew
and oh I
longed to stay
stay down deep
and away

Then I gazed into the waters
of the lake beneath the sea
and oh looking back at me
was you you you
deep and away
you down deep
and away

And oh I
longed to stay
with you down deep
and away
