Life In Dark Water Lyrics - Time Passages - Al Stewart

Oh come away from the day, here I stay 

Living on the bottom of the sea 

Down metal snake corridors steely grey 

Engines hum for nobody but me 

No sound comes from the sea above me 

No messages crackles through the radio leads 

They'll never know, never no never 

How strange life in dark water can be 

Oh mariners spare a thought when you pass 

Those who live the submarine life 

Far in the deep sonar eyes never sleep 

Hiding like a shadow in the night 

Jet planes nose through the clouds above me 

They look for radar traces of me to see 

They'll never know, never no never 

How strange life in dark water can be 

Wonder what the stars look like 

Coming out tonight 

Tell my girl she must be strong 

She sits and waits all night long 

Just looking for a better day 

She'll have to find another way to go 

No memory, tell me what's wrong with me 

Why am I alone here with no rest 

And now the name of the ship's not the same 

How long has it been Marie Celeste 

Now there's nobody from the crew left 

Five hundred years supply of food just for me
