Lyrics
Swimmer in the seventh sea
Sunlight casts its net over the surface of the sea
A longitude and latitude that ripples lazily
Hazy the horizon, which shimmers out of view
A glimmer of the swimmer gliding by looks just like you
The rippling is stippling fine patterns on your back
The water?s skin is skimming over skin so shiny black
Your arms move quickly through the wake of boats that float in queue
You kick and splashing silver drops are falling into blue
Chorus
You are diving down to find
the secrets of the deep
Polished pearls of wisdom,
you are finding them for keeps
The liquid?s an elixir
You are in your element
A complex water sign
Swimmer in the seventh sea
I have to make you mine
Your gaze plunges profoundly as you analyse yourself
A world of rocks beneath you wavers on the sandy shelf
Anemones like rubies, whelks and winkles, cockles too
A limpid pool of limpets clinging on, like me to you
All time is now suspended as you drift and watch the sky
A cumulus of stacked up cloud shifts shape while passing by
You meditate and contemplate your life upon the shore
Then fling your limbs to make a stroke, you want to swim some more
You are diving down to find
the secrets of the deep
Polished pearls of wisdom,
you are finding them for keeps
The liquid?s an elixir
You are in your element
A complex water sign
Swimmer in the seventh sea
I have to make you mine
