On the Surface Peter Hammill

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
On the surface
Phosphorus gleaming;
Deep down we carry on dreaming

[Verse 2]
On the surface
Compass and charts checked;
Deep down the currents run
In a shining vortex
In a shining vortex
In a swirling vortex

[Verse 3]
On the surface (On the surface)
Oil troubled water (Oil troubled water)
Sails set the seas on fire (Sails set the seas on fire)
To the farthest quarter...
Are we dreaming? (Are we dreaming?)
Dream deep of childhood (Deep dreaming)
Dream deep of future days – (Deep dreaming)
It'll all come good (Deep dreaming)
Come good (Deep dreaming)
Come good (Deep dreaming)
Come good (Deep dreaming)
