Underwater Woman

Underwater woman

Underwater lady

No one on the shore will ever know what's in her heart

Fiercely alive, will to survive

Able to thrive on her own

Self contained, properly trained

Hydroponically grown

Underwater woman

Breathing underwater

Brushing her hair, eating a pear

No one can tell when she cries

Away, away, away

She scans the ocean floor With ultrasonic blips

Nothing but rocks and sand

And the broken wrecks of ships

Underwater woman

Underwater lady

No one on the shore will ever know what's in her heart

Laughing uncontrollably, who is she talking to?

Holding up a shell like it's a telephone

Frantically digging through a pile of old papers

Intently staring at a photograph

Underwater woman

Breathing underwater

Brushing her hair, eating a pear

No one can tell when she cries

Away, away, away
