We shed both our jackets and I hammered brackets
From old metal chairs to the walls for a crude set of

A jerry rigged harness so we could descend in the

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

The water was clear like the pure atmosphere
As we kicked and fluttered through caverns all cluttered with

We swim hand and hand over white satin sand
And you left a ribbon to honor the pale gibbon
