I'd made my mind up;   I'd had quite enough.   I was too small but   I just wanted it all.   You had the fins and   My feet were dangling;   Could only wade in   While I watched you swimming.      Diamonds on the waves,   I'm sinking through this space   In the soft embrace   Of an underwater place.      I pushed against   A floor made of sand   And left the land.   How could I know   My weight on the float   Wouldn't hold?      I'd made my mind up;   I'd had quite enough.   I put my foot down   But there was nothing, no ground.   You had the fins and   My float was caving in.   I started slipping   Until the water caught me.      Diamonds on the waves,   I'm sinking through this space   In the soft embrace   Of an underwater place.      I'd found my dream-sleep;   My thoughts were sinking deep.   There was nearly no sound   And it went dusk all around.   You had the fins and   You started reeling me in.   No fear of leaving,   No longer need for breathing.      No, no, no, let me go.   No, no, no, let me float.      Diamonds on the waves,   I'm sinking through this space   In the soft embrace   Of an underwater place.      Diamonds blur and haze,   I'm falling through this space.   Oh, I want to stay   In this underwater place.
