lyrics
Come dive with me beneath the waves
O love, this day is hallowed
It might have been in former days
Sufficient fun to splash around the shallows
It might have been when we were kids
Too dangerous for us to dive
Too dangerous for us to swim the undertide
But it's a new day
It's a new day - do not be afraid
Come plunge with me where light is scarce
O love, for we have light enough
Dive, lest we become a farce
And lose the force that drives us - don't be afraid
To plunge with me beneath the world
Where we know every boring stroke
We'll know nothing down below
We'll make it up as we go
We'll learn that we were made for the deep
We think we're swimming but we're just asleep
You're bored and you know it, love, and talk is cheap
So come dive with me, come dive with me
It's a new day - do not be afraid
O love, this day is hallowed
It might have been in former days
Sufficient fun to splash around the shallows
It might have been when we were kids
Too dangerous for us to dive
Too dangerous for us to swim the undertide
But it's a new day
It's a new day - do not be afraid
Come plunge with me where light is scarce
O love, for we have light enough
Dive, lest we become a farce
And lose the force that drives us - don't be afraid
To plunge with me beneath the world
Where we know every boring stroke
We'll know nothing down below
We'll make it up as we go
We'll learn that we were made for the deep
We think we're swimming but we're just asleep
You're bored and you know it, love, and talk is cheap
So come dive with me, come dive with me
It's a new day - do not be afraid
