When I was seven I told my mother

To take me to the bay and put me on a ship



Silver swordfish electric

I can feel a dream down here



If the water should cut my life

If the water should cut my line

If the water should cut my mind

Set me free

I don't care

I want to live in a bathysphere



When I was seven my father said to me

"But you can't swim."

And I've never dreamed of the sea again.
