I'd made my mind up;

I'd had quite enough

I was too small but

I just wanted it all

You had the fins and

My feet were dangling;

Could only wade in

While I watched you swimming

Diamonds on the waves

I'm sinking through this space

In the soft embrace

Of an underwater place

I pushed against

A floor made of sand

And left the land

How could I know

My weight on the float

Wouldn't hold?

I'd made my mind up;

I'd had quite enough

I put my foot down

But there was nothing, no ground

You had the fins and

My float was caving in

I started slipping

Until the water caught me

Diamonds on the waves

I'm sinking through this space

In the soft embrace

Of an underwater place

I'd found my dream-sleep;

My thoughts were sinking deep

There was nearly no sound

And it went dusk all around

You had the fins and

You started reeling me in

No fear of leaving

No longer need for breathing

No, no, no, let me go

No, no, no, let me float

Diamonds on the waves

I'm sinking through this space

In the soft embrace

Of an underwater place

Diamonds blur and haze

I'm falling through this space

Oh, I want to stay

In this underwater place
