Oh, come away from the day, here I stay Living on the bottom of the sea Down metal snake, corridors, steely gray 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 They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be
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 They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be
They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be
