The seals they cried in jubilee
The sharks they howled along with me
And birds they flew into the wind
The whale he rode the lonely sea
And I dived into you
I dived into you
And oh this ocean blue
Cos I dived into you
The lighthouse dog lifted his brow
The crippled trees bent low to ground
Swans they rustled with lifetime's grouse
Hopeful as they nestled the past
Teachers and travellers made their mark
They dined and feasted on whale and shark
And so the ocean lost its depths
And boredom rained as the ocean wept
Birds they raised their young for dead
And ladies used feathery pillows for bed
And black snow came and black snow stayed
And froze the ocean out of love
I don't know
I lay quiet next to you
Transformed a-whole transformed anew
No longer diving into
But lying quiet next to you
