Into the water

Think rubber
As in life-saver
As in love nest
Black rubber

Picture teal sea
As in screen-saver
As in favourite picture
Think summer

Think freak wave
As in blunt ardour
As in cold frenzy
Do you miss me?

Picture seashell
Your pickup from hell
All elusive
Non-exclusive

In the dark night
She pulls her coat tight
Shakes off her stage fright
To dance
And take the final stride

Under a pale light
She's fading from sight
To meet her dear knight
And dance
And take the final stride
Into the water

Think seashell
As in shel(l)ter
As in lost lover
Undercover

Picture side-glance
As in invitation
As in offer
Moon lover

In the dark night
She pulls her coat tight
Shakes off her stage fright
To dance
And take the final stride
Fading away

Under a pale light
She's fading from sight
To meet her dear knight
And dance
And take the final stride
Into the water

In the dark
In the night
She shakes off her fright
In the light
Out of sight
She's taking the stride
