Lyrics Patti Smith

Patti Smith

Going Under

Sun is rising on the water

Light is dancing again

Let's go under where the sun beams

Let's go under my friend

Are we sleeping, are we dreaming

Are we dancing again

Is it heaven, crack it open

And we'll slide down its stream

We can hold on, I'm sure

To the sea's foaming mane

It will serve us, we'll surface

And we'll plunge back again

Sun is rising on the water

Light is dancing like a flame

There's no burning where the sun beams

Oh, it's such a lovely game

Does the sea dream, I'm sure

We are here, we attend

We are bells on the shore

As the tolling suspends

Who will decide the shape of things

The shift of being, who will perceive when life is new

Shall we divide and become another

Who is due for gift upon gift

Who will decide

Shall we swim over and over

The curve of a wing

It's destination ever changing

Sun is rising on the water

Light is dancing like a flame

Let's go waltzing on the water

Let's go under again

Let's go under

Going under

Going under
