Explorers - Sky Sailing

This old mountain side

Where we used to reside

Is slowly recalling

The things we discovered inside

Oh the crystal caves

We shed both our jackets

And I hammered brackets

From old metal chairs

To the walls for a crude set of stairs

To lead us down

And you tied a rope

To the steepening slope

A jerry rigged harness

So we could descend in the dark

But the tide came in

And we found ourselves in the sea

Deep under water

We both found that we could still breathe

So we spent the day submerged

And we swam the evening away (Away…)

The water was clear

Like the pure atmosphere

As we kicked and fluttered

Through caverns all cluttered with age

In the afterglow

We swam hand and hand

Over white satin sand

And you left a ribbon

To honor the pale gibbon moon

But that was years ago

And we never came up for air

Down there

We can go anywhere

The old world was dying

While we took our flying

Like peregrine falcons

Beneath the transparent blue waves

Far below the surf

And we spent the hours

With submarine flowers

I knew I’d remember

That day in November

As we

Felt alive again

Cause we found ourselves in the sea

Deep underwater

We both found that we could still breathe

So we spent the day submerged

And we swam the evening away (Away…)

We swam the evening away
