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
