Fell in

I followed the diving, didn’t cling to the mast

Held out my arms and my heart to embrace

I probably swallowed the sun too fast

Eager to be a glorious first and not a last

Too eager to start the puzzling chase

I followed the diving, didn’t cling to the mast

Didn’t see the curve of the wave as pale as ice

Rising behind me, the litres of dark blue lace

I probably swallowed the sun too fast

Too late to spit it out and aghast

I turn over pebbles to find your face

I followed the diving, didn’t cling to the mast

Wanted too much light perhaps

I fell into oblivion without a trace

I probably swallowed the sun too fast

The ship sails without me in its careless grace

I followed the diving, didn’t cling to the mast

I probably swallowed the sun too fast.
