Explorers Lyrics - An Airplane Carried Me To Bed - Sky Sailing

This old mountainside 

Where we used to reside 

Is slowly recalling 

The things we discovered inside 

Oh, the crystal caves 

We shed both our jackets 

And I hammered brackets 

From old metal chairs 

To the walls for a crude set of stairs 

To lead us down 

And you tied a rope 

To the steep burning slope 

A Jerry rigged harness 

So we could descend in the dark 

But the tide came in 

And we found ourselves in the sea 

Deep underwater we both found 

That we could still breathe 

So we spent the day submerged 

And we swam the evening away 

The water was clear 

Like the pure atmosphere 

As we kicked and fluttered 

Through caverns all cluttered with age 

In the afterglow 

We swam hand in hand 

Over white satin sand 

And you left a ribbon 

To honor the pale gibbon moon 

But that was years ago 

And we never came up for air 

Down there 

We can go anywhere 

The old world was dying 

While we took our flying 

Like peregrine falcons 

Beneath the transparent blue waves 

Far below the surf 

And we spent the hours 

With submarine flowers 

I knew I'd remember 

That day in November as we 

Felt alive again 

'Cause we found ourselves in the sea 

Deep underwater we both found 

That we could still breathe 

So we spent the day submerged 

And we swam the evening away 

We swam the evening away
