Lyrics

Two miles of ocean

My love for you was rigorous and hard
... and your wage was death
This time it's gonna be the long way home
Falling behind the further I roam

Where heaven and hell couldn't part you from my love
Mediocrity did it with a velveteen glove
Somehow I wonder, how could it be
Just because it had to, means nothing to me

Ref: Under my skin, two miles of ocean
the bottomless infinity of blue
a thousand shafts of sunlight probe it
illuminating nothing for you
sigh for me and weep for yourself
so young and yet so passée

Our dream was just a sliver of a million dollar view
The words we said are not the things we do
You won't stop for heaven and all I could sell,
trade or barter and you won't stop for hell


Ref: Under my skin, two miles of ocean
the bottomless infinity of blue...
