Dive
Stuart Davis Lyrics

Becoming mist again
The body is a drop
Water never ends
The body is a drop
Water never ends

It isn't a mistake
The swimmer is asleep
Water is awake
The swimmer is asleep

Water is awake

It isn't a mistake
Becoming mist again
Water is a friend

Chorus:
Under this wave
Over this soul
Losing my arms
Nothing to hold
Nowhere to swim
Ready to drown
Longing to dive
Love pulls me down
Where the water is awake
The water is alive
Dive

Nothing to hold
An island in the head
Water in the soul
An island in the head
Water in the soul

Something will survive
Let the body melt
Water is alive
Let the body melt
Water is alive

Something will survive
Nothing here to hold
Let the body fold

Chorus

Now I dive
Into this mystery
Into this place
That has no history
That has no face
Everything but water
Will be erased
As I dive
The water is awake
The water is alive
