I woke up from a dream A white rose was floating to greet... the sea Morning light, race me down The wooden path, can't catch me now... the sea Will you wade with me? You and me, all alone? Wadin' on the sea I grab your toes and now I understand The symbol of the rose, it floats on my hand On this great sea strand Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you Until the end, or until the day is through And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me That lures the devil in the deep blue sea Will you always float here with me? I don't want to send second-hand notes To you my friend, about the sea So we jump back into the party And we wade our way out past the bar
I had not planned on going out this far Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you Until the end, or until the day is through And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me That lures the devil in the deep blue sea Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you Until the end, or until the day is through And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me That lures the devil in the deep blue sea 'Cause the devil has a smile And the devil has a smile And it's thorny and it's wild And it grows from deep inside And you try to swim away But the devil calls this play Deep blue sea deep blue sea deep blue sea
