WITH EVERY SEASON:

in the water
I float in the water
immersed in sound while the girl's dine out

under the water
I sink under the water
and the way I go down
          makes me think of something she'd said to me

yeah, she's right to say
that the weather can
that the winter can
          make you feel so afraid

but, I'd like to add
that the water can
that the waters can
caress and surround

come on, COME ON! come ONE, COME ALL!
FIND OUT!
come down, sink DOWN!

under water
I sink under the water
under water as the kids are going to rest

under the water
I hold myself under the water
and the whole way down
          my mind calls out

that she was right to say
that the winters can
that the weather can
          make you feel so alone

and I'd like to add
(before they all cry 'how sad!')
that the waters can
caress and surround
comfort s you go down
DOWN!
make me feel a warmth
that you will not find
until you sink down below

and in a way I've found
all the words to describe
to all of you
oh, how I love all of you
oh, how she was right to say
that the weather can
make you feel so so, so so, so alone

come on, come on, COME ONE! COME ALL!
HOW LONG?!
HOW LONG?!
SO LONG!
