Coming Up For Air

we are surrounded by so much water
that we might as well get a boat
or we could swim like Neptune's daughters
to the other side of the moat
coming up for air
rising to a very new
somewhere
coming up for air
on the last breath around
we are sleeping in a canyon
where the walls rise up to the sky
we could reach the rim by standing
and begin to breathe with a sigh
coming up for air
rising to a very new
somewhere
coming up for air
on the last breath around
we are swaying like a willow
that is weeping over the view
we could wave goodbye
and fly into the hills
and into the blue
coming up for air
rising to a very new
somewhere
coming up for air
on the last breath around
on the last breath around
on the last breath around
