Lyrics

In that ocean
Wide eyed and deeper in your gaze,
And bluer than the bright that’s in the cave
There is a city,
Came out from you, Atlantis
In ruins, sunken below the waves
But in the city,
Where there is no one
What’s the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here
The bluest city,
Covered in coral and coral,
On sea chests,
And sealed Jamaician tales
There is nobody
To count the soldiering meandering whales,
With a shoal of herring amongst the sails
But in the city,
Where there is no one
What’s the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.
There is the city Atlantis
