would you believe me if i said that i was lying 
could you concieve me to be misled 
you are careful with me as i am careless 
when i hand the key to you i've still got too many keys 
and when i look at you in the blue summer shade 
i can almost see my own face in the chain of reaction 

that's when you lead me down to the sea 
under the water the shadows wait patiently 

'there are signs here' you whisper in my ear 
but i won't listen to you till your words are clear 
for you are naked tonight underneath your pose 
you are hopeless and divine and everybody knows 

that's where you leave me down by the sea 
under the water green shadows wait patiently 

say it's not true dear what i begin to fear 
we are helpless to defy and engineer 
for if i look at you in the blue summer shade 
i can almost find my own way to the sauce of all of joy 
but i am rule bound and still under instruction 
so i will murder my pride and linger on my sin 

that's where you left me down by the sea 
under the water the shadows wait patiently
