lyrics

I move through the memory of you like water,
wade through the much sought after bull rush groves
where the salt crystals grow.
I swear our skin was green as algae,
slick and slimy from time spent under the sea.

In the sea, in the sea, in the sea.

Our limbs grew fins, our skin grew scales,
as we sailed the mighty ocean floor.
I ran my fingers through your seaweed hair,
just to see how long it might take to get tangled up in there,
my lion of the sea.

We built a home of moss and stone
and were quite comfortable alone,
with our millions of neighbors.
We cut a deal with schools of fish to cut their classes,
to join us on our journey through the sea.

In the sea, in the sea, in the sea.

“Can’t you see,” she said to me,
she said, “honey, he’s a bottom feeder.”
I said I’d meet her if I chose to see the light,
but tonight its quite delightful down here.
Rebel son once, a rebel daughter twice,
ain’t it nice this unconditional acceptance?
New family tree is built of sand and soggy leaves
and the warm breath through the cool ocean breeze.

In the sea, in the sea, in the sea.

Darkest of nights and the deepest of days are spent studying the lines of our faces,
so as not to forget, when we’re both swept away.

I move through the memory of you like water.
Wade through the much sought after bulrush groves, where the salt crystals grow.
