We run along easy at periscope depth
Sun dappling through clear water
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
Far awa y from the slaughter
Your hair is a strawflower that sings in the sun
My darling, my beautiful daughter
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
Cast awa y on the water
From down in the vault, down in the grave
Reaching up to the light on the waves
So she did run to him over the grass
She fell in his arms and he caught her
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
Far awa y on the water
Far awa y on the water
