Long Now - The Holidays

I hit my head

on a rock

And all of the broken stars

The water looks right for a swim

As blue as my freezing skin

In one little motion

I fell in the ocean

Drifting and floating

away from the boat end

In one little motion

I fell in the ocean

Drifting and floating away

I began to see

A sea of enemies, enemies

they could see me

In one little moment

I thought I was frozen

till a hand pulled me up to the top

to the top

In one little motion

I fell in the ocean

drifting and floating

away from the boat end

In one little motion

I fell in the ocean

drifting and floating

away

What an odd idea

that I could live under a sea so strange

What an odd idea

that under seas I’d rather stay

In one little motion

I fell in the ocean

drifting and floating

Sea so strange

In one little motion

I fell in the ocean

drifting and floating

Rather stay
