This old mountainside where we used to reside
Is slowly recalling the things we discovered inside
Oh, the crystal caves
[00:-1.00]
We shed both our jackets and I hammered brackets
From old metal chairs to the walls for a crude set of stairs
To lead us down
[00:-1.00]
And you tied a rope to the steepening slope
A jerry-rigged harness so we could descend in the dark
But the tide came in
[00:-1.00]
And we found ourselves in the sea,
Deep underwater we both found that we could still breathe
So we spent the day submerged
And we swam the evening away
[00:-1.00]
The water was clear like the pure atmosphere
As we kicked and fluttered through caverns all cluttered with age
In the afterglow
[00:-1.00]
We swam hand in hand over white satin sand
And you left a ribbon to honor the pale gibbon moon
But that was years ago...
[00:-1.00]
And we never came up for air down there
We can go anywhere
[00:-1.00]
The old world was dying while we took off flying
Like peregrine falcons beneath the transparent blue waves
Far below the surf
[00:-1.00]
And we spent the hours with submarine flowers
I knew I'd remember that day in November as we felt alive again
[00:-1.00]
'Cause we found ourselves in the sea,
Deep underwater we both found that we could still breathe
So we spent the day submerged
And we swam the evening away
We swam the evening away
[00:-1.00]
