david lowery - deep oblivion lyrics

Loading...

a winter’s night,
a creature, strange & bright
appeared upon the porch in a dark storm.
the minister said,
“it’s clearly mad in the head–
pay it no mind, it’ll go away.”

you & i were thinking about a place
below the sea,
with stinging anemone,
coral, bright & white.
& i was on a fast train to a deep oblivion.
you didn’t try to stop me; no, you asked
to come along.

come take the light
of creatures of the deep;
electric eels are fun, but tend to bite.
oblivion,
it rhymes with vivian.
rust-red things look gray beneath the deep.

you & i were thinking about a decommissioned sub,
a place submarine,
we’d live life so serene.
we were on a fast train to a drunk oblivion—
you bravely took my hand & we went merrily along.

jets & boats,
always found them fine.
the creature on the front porch can’t unwind.
the sea captain said,
“i’ll fix him up with this:
gin & quinine keeps away malaise.”

we were crossing english channels
in victorian times,
in midget submarines
with parasols & twine.
& i was going under in some deep oblivion;
you bravely took my hand
& sweetly came along.
