Underwater Place

I'd made my mind up;

I'd had quite enough.

I was too small but

I just wanted it all.

You had the fins and

My feet were dangling;

Could only wade in

While I watched you swimming.

Diamonds on the waves,

I'm sinking through this space

In the soft embrace

Of an underwater place.

I pushed against

A floor made of sand

And left the land.

How could I know

My weight on the float

Wouldn't hold?

I'd made my mind up;

I'd had quite enough.

I put my foot down

But there was nothing, no ground.

You had the fins and

My float was caving in.

I started slipping

Until the water caught me.

Diamonds on the waves,

I'm sinking through this space

In the soft embrace

Of an underwater place.

I'd found my dream-sleep;

My thoughts were sinking deep.

There was nearly no sound

And it went dusk all around.

You had the fins and

You started reeling me in.

No fear of leaving,

No longer need for breathing.

No, no, no, let me go.

No, no, no, let me float.

Diamonds on the waves,

I'm sinking through this space

In the soft embrace

Of an underwater place.

Diamonds blur and haze,

I'm falling through this space.

Oh, I want to stay

In this underwater place.
