They Stay Down Deep Lyrics
What's that you hide behind your back?
Nothing but a shadow trap
What's that you press against your lips?
Some sailing words on conjured ships
And in those ocean eyes of yours
Sea monsters swim in cluttered drawers
I'm scared they'll climb out when you weep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
What's that you don't want me to say
There's just so long that we can sleep
Wrapped up in our own reverie
Inside this cabin by the sea
Where we go out every day
We cast our ship and sail away
But things will only stay this way
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
Would see I'm not afraid of flaws
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
Would see I'm not afraid of flaws
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
Would not hide behind closed doors
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
Nothing but a shadow trap
What's that you press against your lips?
Some sailing words on conjured ships
And in those ocean eyes of yours
Sea monsters swim in cluttered drawers
I'm scared they'll climb out when you weep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
There's just so long that we can sleep
Wrapped up in our own reverie
Inside this cabin by the sea
Where we go out every day
We cast our ship and sail away
But things will only stay this way
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
Would see I'm not afraid of flaws
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
Would see I'm not afraid of flaws
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
Would not hide behind closed doors
I wish those ocean eyes of yours
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
So long as they stay down deep
Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
