THE TANGLED BLUE SEA

Where is it you go

Each night when you sleep

I go east to the ocean

To the tangled blue sea

Where is it you're headed

At night in your dreams

To the trenches and canyons

Where at last I can breath

Silence surrounds me

In the arms of the deep

I forget every sorrow

That dry land keeps

Though the pressure is great

It's a weight I can bare

For under the world

I've no need for air

I lay on the seabed

Forgetting all ties

To the world overhead

Where the weather is wild

How is it I'll tell

Between life and a dream

As one comes to life

The other recedes

Each quest is the same

In tangled blue seas

We keep sight of the sun

And make peace beneath.
