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 |
|
And if the water should cut my line |
|
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 |
