Roaming softly through yourself
You watched the words change for someone else
Form an echo in a seashell
A drunken thought or a long farewell
And then tonight I’ll dive into your eyes
Will we feel like this for the rest of our lives?
Just a bird, tied to a stone
Do I really want the stone to be thrown?
Under the sea, black and deep:
Everything I give is everything that I keep
So shake the leaves off this tree
And in the dark blue light
I watched the bottle sail into the night
Carried you home, shaking like a leaf
You couldn’t swim even though you live by the sea
A flock of owls know your name
Will you promise me to stay the same?
Buried my hands on the old cold sand
I looked up and saw all the sunlight on you again
Night after night, I followed you home
Light after light, I followed your footsteps on the snow
Under the sea, black and deep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
