If You Dive

Lyrics by Charles Lieurance

Just set the broken gate aside
Just push the rusty rain aside
Like a curtain, to the sky
Just open up this tin can in the deep
Just let the blind fish fly
Then you'll see us, any night
Any morning, if you dive
Because...
Here we are, and there we were
Wrapped in chicken wire
And crepe paper rosebuds
There you go, and here we are
As the big autumn moon smears blood
on all the windows, here we are
If you dive, if you dive
She's the details in the seaweed
and I'm hidden in the coral reef
Of endless fleur de lis
That's where you can find her and me
If you dive, into the milky light
If you dive, any morning any night
If you dive, into the milky light
If you dive
Just open up this tin can in the deep
Just let the blind fish fly
Then you'll see us, any night
Any morning, if you dive
Because...
here we are, and there we were
Wrapped in chicken wire
And crepe paper rosebuds
There you go, and here we are
As the big autumn moon smears blood
on all the windows
If you dive, into the milky light
If you dive, any morning, any night
If you dive
