| When i was seven | |
| I asked my mother | |
| To trip me to the bay | |
| And put me on a ship | |
| And lower me down | |
| Lower me out of here | |
| Because when i was seven | |
| I wanted to live in a bathysphere | |
| Between coral | |
| Silent eel | |
| Silver swordfish | |
| I can't really feel or dream down here | |
| And if the water should cut my line (*2) | |
| Set me free | |
| And if the water should cut my line | |
| Set me free, i don't mind | |
| I'll be the lost sailor, my home is the sea | |
| When i was seven | |
| My father said to me | |
| 'but you can't swim' | |
| And i've never dreamed of the sea again |
