Underwater Life - Freedy Johnston

I sail alone

In a homemade boat

Repairs and jokes and stares

Everywhere I go

And then one night

Out about ten miles

The sea glowed far below

On the starboard side

There underneath the waves

A drowned city was never saved

In a deep sea paradise

They know better than to rise

And if I had my way

I'd trade my own today

For the underwater life

The sailors laugh

At my unnamed craft

Ignore it and collect my coins

For hauling trash

And every night

Where the sea goes deep

I drop sail and watch until

I drift off to sleep

There underneath the waves

A drowned city was never saved

In a deep sea paradise

They know better than to rise

And if I had my choice

I'd trade my own of course

For the underwater life

There underneath the waves

A drowned city was never saved

In a deep sea paradise

They know better than to rise

And if I had my way

I'd trade my own today

For the underwater life

Underwater life

Underwater life

Underwater life
