[Lyric] Submarines (Ian David Green)

This was the house that we built
Strong to the wind
White in the harbour sun
Our steps touched this ground
Where weeds now grow
And small staccato veins of raindrops run

So long ago
Arms on the wall
We stood and turned our faces to the foam
Out beneath the waves
Boundless blue
A million metal messengers alone

When do you think they’ll come up for some air
Take a look around and see if someone’s there
When do you think they’ll come up for some air
And lift their heads from thеir submarines?

Tides took a toll
Stone turnеd to sand
Plans became moments left behind
Out beneath the waves
Dull heavy grey
You battened down the hatches of your mind
This was the house that you lost
Cut by salt
Storms overdue still came too soon
This was the rail that you held
Gun-metal stairs
Called you down into the gloom

Don’t forget to come up for some air
Take a look around and see if someone’s there
Don’t forget to come up for some air
You can’t live your life in a submarine

There was a house that you built
Strong to the wind
White in the harbour sun
