This old mountain side

Where we used to reside

Is slowly recalling

The things we discovered inside



Oh the crystal caves



We shed both our jackets

And I hammered brackets

From old metal chairs

To the walls, a crude set of stairs



To lead us down



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 



And we found ourselves in the sea

Deep under water 

We both found that we could still breathe

So we spent the day submerged



And we swam the evening away



[Musical break]



The water was clear

Like the pure atmosphere 

As we kicked and fluttered 

Through caverns all cluttered with age



In the afterglow



We swim hand and hand

Over white satin sand

And you left a ribbon

To honor the pale gibbon moon



But that was years ago



And we never came up for air

Down there

We can go anywhere



The old world was dying

While we took our flying

Like peregrine falcons

Beneath the transparent blue waves



Far below the surf



And we spent the hours

With submarine flowers

I knew I'd remember

That day in November

As we 

Felt alive again



Cuz 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
