This old mountain side Where we used to reside Is slowly recalling The things we discovered
Oh the crystal caves
We shed both our jackets I hammered brackets From old metal chairs To the walls, a crude set of stairs
To lead us down
And you tied a 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 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 with age
In 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 While we took our flying Like peregrine falcons the transparent blue waves
Far below the surf
And we spent the hours With submarine flowers I knew I'd That day in November As we Felt alive again
Cuz we found ourselves in the sea Deep underwater We found that we could still breathe So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away We swam the evening away
