[Verse 1]
We run along easy at periscope depth
Sun dappling through clear water

[Chorus]
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
Far away from the slaughter

[Verse 2]
Your hair is a strawflower that sings in the sun
My darling, my beautiful daughter

[Chorus]
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
Cast away on the water

[Bridge]
From down in the vault, down in the grave
Reaching up to the light on the waves

[Verse 3]
So she did run to him over the grass
She fell in his arms and he caught her

[Chorus]
So went the dream of the drowned submariner
Far away on the water
Far away on the water
