The seals, they cried in jubilee The sharks, they howled along with me And birds, they flew into the wind The whale, he roamed the lonely sea And I dived into you I dived into you On this ocean hue 'Cause I dived into you The lighthouse dog lifted his brow The crippled trees bent low to growl And swans, they wrestled with lifetime's grasp In hopefullness 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 Out of love I lay quiet, next to you Transformed a whole Transformed anew No longer diving into But lying quiet next To you
