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
