They Stay Down Deep

What's that you hide behind your back Nothing but a shadow trap What's that you press against your lips? Some sailored words on conjured ships And in those ocean eyes of yours Sea monsters swim in cluttered drawers I'm scared they'll climb out when you weep Don't fear my dear they stay down deep Don't fear my dear they stay down deep What's that you don't want me to say There's just so long that we can sleep Wrapped up in our own reverie Inside this cabin by the sea Where we go out every day We cast our ship and sail away But things will only stay this way So long as they stay down deep Don't fear my dear they stay down deep So long as they stay down deep Don't fear my dear they stay down deep I wish those ocean eyes of yours Would see I'm not afraid of flaws I wish those ocean eyes of yours Would see I'm not afraid of flaws I wish those ocean eyes of yours Would not hide behind closed doors I wish those ocean eyes of yours So long as they stay down deep Don't fear my dear they stay down deep So long as they stay down deep Don't fear my dear they stay down deep
