The seals they cried in jubilee 
The sharks they howled along with me 
And birds they flew into the wind 
The whale he rode the lonely sea 
And I dived into you 
I dived into you 
And oh this ocean blue 
Cos I dived into you 

The lighthouse dog lifted his brow 
The crippled trees bent low to ground 
Swans they rustled with lifetime's grouse 
Hopeful as they nestled the past 
Teachers and travellers made their mark 
They dined and feasted on whale and shark 
And so the ocean lost its depths 
And boredom rained as the ocean wept 

Birds they raised their young for dead 
And ladies used feathery pillows for bed 
And black snow came and black snow stayed 
And froze the ocean out of love 

I don't know 

I lay quiet next to you 
Transformed a-whole transformed anew 
No longer diving into 
But lying quiet next to you
