Dream of the Drowned Submariner

We run along easy at periscope depth

Sun dappling through clear water

So went the dream of the drowned submariner

Far away from the slaughterYour hair is a strawflower that sings in the sun

My darling, my beautiful daughter

So went the dream of the drowned submariner

Cast away on the waterFrom down in the vault, down in the grave

Reaching up to the light on the wavesSo she did run to him over the grass

She fell in his arms and he caught her

So went the dream of the drowned submariner

Far away on the water

Far away on the water
