Under the Water

Merril Bainbridge

I get confused when I'm tired
But the last time I saw you
We were in a room with
Sunshine in my eyes and
Water on the floor
I watched you float away
Take me with you

A long time ago we were
Walking around we were
Foolin' around in the garden
In the garden there I saw you turn around
And still you turn around
My eyes are playing tricks on me
How I miss you

I could be your lover
Chained under the water
Under the water I could be standing on a ladder
To make it easier
To make it easier

Your eyes are colored stone
You've got an earring through your nose
Your chains are made of gold
I don't think they will float
But floating is what you do
That is beautiful
That is you

I could be your lover
Chained under the water
Under the water I could be swimming out to save you
No one there would save you
To make it easier

I could be your lover
Chained under the water
Under the water I could be swimming out to save you
No one there would save you
To make it easier

I could be your lover
Chained under the water
Under the water I could be standing on a ladder
To make it easier
To make it easier
