Verse 1
I woke up from a dream
A white rose was floating to greet the sea
Morning light, race me down
The wooden path, can't catch me now
the sea
Will you wade with me?
You and me all alone, wading on the sea
I grab your toes and now I understand
The symbol of the rose, it floats on my hand on this great sea strand
Chorus
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
Verse 2
Will you always float here with me?
I don't want to send second-hand notes
To you my friend, about the sea
So we jump back into the party
And we wade our way out past the bar
I had not planned on going out this far
Chorus
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That beckons the devil in the deep blue sea
Outro
play chorus chords):
'Cause the devil has a smile
And the devil has a smile
And it's thorny and it's wild
And it grows from deep inside
And you try to swim away
But the devil calls this play
Deep blue sea, deep blue sea, deep blue sea
