Oh come away from the day, here I stay    Living on the bottom of the sea    Down metal snake corridors steely grey    Engines hum for nobody but me    No sound comes from the sea above me    No messages crackles through the radio leads    They'll never know, never no never    How strange life in dark water can be       Oh mariners spare a thought when you pass    Those who live the submarine life    Far in the deep sonar eyes never sleep    Hiding like a shadow in the night    Jet planes nose through the clouds above me    They look for radar traces of me to see    They'll never know, never no never    How strange life in dark water can be       Wonder what the stars look like    Coming out tonight    Tell my girl she must be strong    She sits and waits all night long    Just looking for a better day    She'll have to find another way to go       No memory, tell me what's wrong with me    Why am I alone here with no rest    And now the name of the ship's not the same    How long has it been "Marie Celeste?"    Now there's nobody from the crew left    Five hundred years supply of food just for me       They'll never know, never no never    How strange life in dark water can be
