On the Surface

On the surface

Phosphorus gleaming;

Deep down we carry on dreaming.

On the surface

Compass and charts checked;

Deep down the currents run

In a shining vortex,

In a swirling vortex.

On the surface

Oil troubled water

Sails set the seas on fire

To the farthest quarter...

Are we dreaming?

Dream deep of childhood,

Dream deep of future days -

It'll all come good,

Deep dreaming.

On the surface

Head above water

Legs kick the carry-on...

(dreaming) break the surface;

Dreaming of long-lost childhood,

Hoping for better days -

It'll all come good,

Deep dreaming.

It'll all come good,

Deep dreaming.

It'll all come to the surface,

It'll all rise to the surface,

Deep dreaming.
