Lyrics

Deep Blue

Far away another day has broken
While we dream the dream that you have woken
Breaking the surface of your nightmare sleep

But this dream’s true and the breath we’d held releases
A chance to mend what we thought was all in pieces
And our hearts beat high and make that long, long leap

Long long leap, that they’d been waiting to
From here where hope once hung its head
To where the new day lies ahead for you
Across the deep blue

Stranger times I hope we’ll never see
Nor distance great as this from here to Swansea
And may we never wait so helplessly

Helplessly wondering what to do
What poem or prayer or call or cry
Had strength enough or wings to fly to you
Across the deep blue

Break

Closer now, the day of your returning
We’ll set your place and have the fire burning
Until that time a song will have to do

Have to do, we send our love to you
From here where hope once hung its head
To where the new day lies ahead
And the blockade ships of grief have fled from view
Across the deep blue
