Speaking Sonar

(album: Happy Camper - 2018)

I've got to swim through
Give this a try
Dive off a free fall
Into the sky
My brain's an urchin
My heart, a stingray

I'll sink beside you
Billow up off our feet
Arms 'round my shoulder
Brittle star weave
Out to the ocean
Life aboard a submarine

Well, I'd really like to know you
But I find it hard
To go where you are when you speak in sonar
Days from the deep end
An echo off the ocean floor

I never thought that
We'd ever come this far
Chasing a jet stream
By the fin of a shark
Gone for the weekend
Batten down the hatches for a storm

Well, I'll dance beside you
Stick to the beat
Fossils in the city park
Got dolphins in my dreams
Bottom of the ocean
Samba sun on the ceiling

Well, I'd really like to know you
But I find it hard
To go where you are when you speak in sonar
Days from the deep end
An echo off the ocean floor

Well, I'd really like to know you
But I find it hard
To go where you are when you speak in sonar
Days from the deep end
An echo off the ocean floor
