Explorers (Album Version)

This old mountain side Where we used to reside Is slowly recalling The things we discovered inside Oh the crystal caves We shed both our jackets And I hammered brackets From old metal chairs To the walls, a crude set of stairs To lead us down And you tied a rope To the steepening slope A jerry rigged harness So we could descend in the dark But the tide came in And we found ourselves in the sea Deep under water We both found that we could still breathe So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away [Musical break] The water was clear Like the pure atmosphere As we kicked and fluttered Through caverns all cluttered with age In the afterglow We swim hand and hand Over white satin sand And you left a ribbon To honor the pale gibbon moon But that was years ago And we never came up for air Down there We can go anywhere The old world was dying While we took our flying Like peregrine falcons Beneath the transparent blue waves Far below the surf And we spent the hours With submarine flowers I knew I'd remember That day in November As we Felt alive again Cuz we found ourselves in the sea Deep underwater We both found that we could still breathe So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away We swam the evening away
