ryan scott oliver - beneath the water lyrics

Loading...

right at midnight
these many weeks
he watched me diving
beneath the water
at the start, he stayed his distance
with a strange kind of coexistence

until the tea
fresh from his stove
just him and me
in that quiet cove
and when i handed back his cup
i whispered, “thanks, you warmed me up”
and i dove
beneath the water

but then last night, he asked

“may i join you?”

[? & ?]
please take me diving
bеneath the water
[?]
i shook my hеad
“there’s too much danger
and to you, i’m all but a stranger”
yet undeterred
he poured us whisky
a teasing word
and then he kissed me

so we tripped down that sandy slope
and i uncoiled my safety rope
i moored his waist onto the rock
and then to sea, in love and shock

[?, (?)]
we dove (we dove)
beneath the water (beneath the water)
beneath the water

[?]
he held his breath
just like a wonder
like his whole life, he’d been doing it
and we found my shipwreck
i showed him all
my precious plunder
like an auctioneer debuting it
my glorious shipwreck
the moment’s halt
back up for air
then to the vault
but he wasn’t there

i swam to check
found him caught
by the wreck
with the rope around his neck
and i tried to free the knot, the knot
i tried to cut the moor
but more and more
my breath distraught
i’d no choice but to get back to shore
i’d come back for him
i swore

traced the rope line
and found him there
there’s no surviving
beneath the water
layed him out
what could i do, then?
fled so fast
flying home to you, then
my body’s here
yes that, i know
but still, i fear
i am chained below
i’m d+mned to hear him in the swell
and find his face in every wave
beneath the water
beneath the water

where my heart lays in his grave
