lyrics

I swim, and I swim
Fire burns through every aching limb
Still I swim

Over sand. over sea
Look, here comes a giant whale to swallow me
Ah, the beauty of the sea

No it doesn't look too good for me
This ocean is my destiny
Now could you be just a little light?
The bough of silver
An open door to heaven in my eyes

I watch it slip from your lip
Look here comes a sound and sturdy ship
To save me

You smile and you wave
You say I'll be back to rescue you someday
As I struggle in the wake

No it doesn't look too good for me
The Story is a tragedy
Now could you be just a little lie?
I tell myself that I've gone too far
I can't keep my eyes on
The ever-fading far horizon but
I gotta believe
I gotta believe
It's gonna be me

How much further?
Love, just how deep?
The sharks have begun to circle
I go to sleep . . .

You smile and you wave
You say I'll be back to rescue you someday.
