[Verse 1]
             
We all came to

          
 see him even 

in our dreams
      
Came runnin' d

own the mounta

in        
             
Like a springt

             
ime river stre

am
        
Then I saw you

r eyes so big 

and so wide

They were fine

 and free
             
You were looki

               
ng up 
             
From the botto

         
m of the sea
             
From the botto

                 
m of the sea
            
From the botto

             
m of the sea

the floods
      
Past places of

[Verse 3]
             
Now they all c

Life has been 

refracting
             
Forever out to
