Lyrics

Skindiving

Reach your hands inside this dream Unzip the skin, release the sleep Going down, I'm growing wings Hope I can fly before I hit the ground I can hear your thoughts arise From these depths to creamy skies Drifting down the water's cool Let the weeds cover you The silvery storms show nothing here The surface domes the water's clear The water's clear
