Peter Hammill - On the Surface lyrics

On the surface phosphorus gleaming; deep down we carry on dreaming. On the surface compa** and charts checked; deep down the currents run in a shining vortex, in a swirling vortex. On the surface oil troubled water sails set the seas on fire to the farthest quarter... Are we dreaming? Dream deep of childhood, dream deep of future days – it'll all come good, deep dreaming. On the surface head above water legs kick the carry-on... (dreaming) break the surface; dreaming of long-lost childhood, hoping for better days – it'll all come good, deep dreaming. It'll all come good, deep dreaming. It'll all come to the surface, it'll all rise to the surface, deep dreaming.
