We run along easy at periscope depth Sun dappling through clear water So went the dream of the drowned submariner Far away 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 away 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 away on the water Far away on the water
