Where the Deepwater Goes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Into the heart of this old sunken ship
A white knuckle journey you won't soon forget
Out where the deepwater goes
Into the veins of this old lizard skin
To Tierra Del Fuego and then back again
That's where the deepwater goes
That's where the deepwater goes
Soon you will fathom how deep it goes down
And the bottom's a good place to start
Our bottle is empty
The searchlight is off
Oh, the bottom's a good place to start
Out of the tumbler and into the flame
Out from the shadows where no one gets blamed
That's where the deepwater goes
That's where the deepwater goes
It's all muddy ground there with no place to build
But the deepwater never complains
Our slow boat to China will get slower still
But the deepwater never complains
That's where the deepwater goes
And it goes
