           It's getting colder
           I am chilled to the bone
           It's getting later
           It's time we went home
           There's no way I can stay

           We'll sleep together in this watery grave
           And if you'll let me I'll drown we'll be found and be saved 
           Let's be brave

           She kissed his visor
           Made a sign with her eyes
           It's now I love you
           You know if I die we'll get down
           To the sound
           She shines so brightly as she's climbing the stairs
           It takes her body, her thoughts and her cares
           And she's drowned - underground

           Her fingers stretch and flex
           She's gone.
           She stares right through you.
           Come on, fight and be strong.

           Swim hard and fast, make me proud of you
           As I sleep be sure I'll dream of you
           Swim hard and fast, make me sure of you
           As I sleep you know I'll pray for you

           Swim hard and fast, make me proud of you
           As I sleep be sure I'll dream of you
           Swim hard and fast, make me sure of you
           As I sleep you know I'll pray for you

           Swim hard and fast, make me proud of you
           As I sleep be sure I'll dream of you
           Swim hard and fast, make me sure of you
           As I sleep you know I'll pray for you

Sung by Vanessa. Richard wrote this after seeing a scene in the film 'The Abyss' where someone drowned on purpose. Causing him to throw up, apparently.
