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.
