I slip beneath the surface

Silence all I hear

Save the pull of my regulator

Its gentle hissing in my ear

 

Descending top to bottom

The Coolness of deep blue

The surging motion of the ocean

Nothing else will ever do

 

And many times I’ve been

But it never seems enough

I need to see the sights

Need to feel the crush

 

Nothing else quite like it

A world all its own

Some call it the ocean

But me, I call it home

 

She’s called out many times

I hear her in my sleep

The denizen of the water

The creature of the deep

 

The one that calls me lover

Sometimes we are friends

Our bond is ever stronger

Our love will never end

 

For we are truly one

The ocean you see and I

And when I’m not within her

Sometimes can make me cry

 

So even across the miles

While I live on land

She is always with me

And I will always be her man

A Slip beneath the ocean
