My eyes are the twilight staring at the heavens, Waiting for the coming of a lone falling star; That'll break through the film of my dewy world, Then swim the depths of its deep blue sea. And be drown by its ever raging waves, Until the night shuts my eyes to only sleep-- Und'rneath the deep blue sea-- Eternally und'r the deep blue sea.
