oh come away from the day here i stay living on the bottom of the sea down metal snake corridors steely grey engines hum for nobody but me no sound comes from the sea above me no messages crackles through the radio leads they ll never know never no never how strange life in dark water can be oh mariners spare a thought when you pass those who live the submarine life far in the deep sonar eyes never sleep hiding like a shadow in the night jet planes nose through the clouds above me they look for radar traces of me to see wonder what the stars look like coming out tonight tell my girl she must be strong she sits and waits all night long just looking for a better day she ll have to find another way to go no memory tell me what s wrong with me why am i alone here with no rest and now the name of the ship s not the same how long has it been marie celeste now there s nobody from the crew left five hundred years supply of food just for me 1
