[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
On the surface
Phosphorus gleaming;
Deep down we carry on dreaming
[Verse 2]
On the surface
Compass and charts checked;
Deep down the currents run
In a shining vortex
In a shining vortex
In a swirling vortex
[Verse 3]
On the surface (On the surface)
Oil troubled water (Oil troubled water)
Sails set the seas on fire (Sails set the seas on fire)
To the farthest quarter...
Are we dreaming? (Are we dreaming?)
Dream deep of childhood (Deep dreaming)
Dream deep of future days – (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
Come good (Deep dreaming)
Come good (Deep dreaming)
Come good (Deep dreaming)
[Verse 4]
On the surface (On the surface)
Head above water (Head above water)
Legs kick the carry-on... (Carry on)
Dreaming break the surface; (Break the surface)
Dreaming of long-lost childhood (Deep dreaming)
Hoping for better days –
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
(Deep dreaming)
(Deep dreaming)
(Deep dreaming)
(Deep dreaming)
(Deep dreaming)
(Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good, deep dreaming
It'll all come good, deep dreaming
[Guitar Solo/Outro]
It'll all come good
It'll all come good
It'll all come to the surface
It'll all rise to the surface
