This old mountain side we used to reside Is slowly recalling The things we discovered inside
Oh the crystal caves
We shed both our 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 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 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 To honor the pale gibbon moon
But that was years ago
And we came up for air Down there We can go anywhere
The old world was dying While 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 We both found that we could still So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away We swam the evening away
