Recorded live to cassette at the Dry Rock Cafe in Farmingdale, NY, January 7, 1995.

lyrics

The air that night becoming day
The moon, the blue, the deep, deep blue
The stars that wink and fade away
Leaving me, the sea, and you.

On the horizon, two small lights
One green, one red, each a mystery
Passing ships, or luminous fish?
Either way, we joined them in the sea

The scene last year: so deep, deep down
I thought you went so deep, deep down
But every time I turn around
There's a little less left of you.

Your poetry, your deep, deep eyes
Your deep, deep mind so ocean blue
In passing months it's all dried up
Leaving so shallow a puddle of you

I shine like a fish in a tidal pool
Your small, dry world too shallow for me
I know you were never profound as you seemed
And so I return to the deep, deep sea.

The scene last year: so deep, deep down
I thought you went so deep, deep down
But every time I turn around
There's a little less left of you.
