This old mountain side Where we used 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
you tied a rope To the steepening slope A jerry rigged harness So we could descend in the dark
the tide came in
And we found ourselves in 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
In the afterglow
We swim hand and hand Over white satin sand And you left a ribbon To honor the gibbon moon
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 With submarine flowers 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 breathe So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away We swam the evening away
