Lyrics
(verse 1)
Dark blue water / Ocean at rest
Smooth still surface / Holding its breath
Currents well hidden / Waves unformed
Tide in slow motion / No sign of storm
(chorus)
Quiet like night
Stirring asleep
The dark blue water runs deep
Old like a legend
Powerful is the sea
The dark blue water runs deep
(verse 2)
Star-filled heavens / Distant and cool
Ink-black blanket / Empty and full
Ocean below and / Ocean above
Vast, unending / No down, no up
(chorus)
(bridge)
Swimming in silence
No sense of time
Floating in weightlessness
Verse with no rhyme
Shadowy figures
Ghosts will abound
Never a harbor is found
(chorus)
(tag)
Endless water / Ocean at rest
Mirrored surface / Holding its breath
