On The Surface Lyrics

On the surface
phosphorus gleaming;
deep down
we carry on dreaming.
On the surface
compass and charts checked;
deep down the currents run
in a shining vortex,
in a swirling vortex.

On the surface
oil troubled water
sails set the seas on fire
to the farthest quarter....
Are we dreaming?
Dream deep of childhood,
dream deep of future days - Peter Hammill - On The Surface - http://motolyrics.com/peter-hammill/on-the-surface-lyrics.html
it'll all come good,
deep dreaming.

On the surface
head above water
legs kick the carry-on...
(dreaming) break the surface;
dreaming of long-lost childhood,
hoping for better days -
it'll all come good,
deep dreaming.

It'll all come good,
deep dreaming.
It'll all come to the surface,
it'll all rise to the surface,
deep dreaming.
