Under the Ice Lyrics by Throws

Throws

Gothenburg was points of light,
a mirror of the south-west sky.
We left our clothes and gingerly, across the ice,
we walked onto the frozen sea,
our breath hanging in the air like personal rainclouds.
We found the ice hole and jumped,
swimming down into the dark,
amphibians headed for the other side.
The creatures remembered us,
and welcomed us,
and we rejoiced.
We dancеd in their glittering halls of algae and coral towеrs,
feasted on carrageen,
and drank down their venom wine,
until the ocean's drift was doubled and thrown about,
and we woke in an old cabin --
wood stove and painted horse.
Huddled in that ancient bed,
whilst neither of us spoke about what had happened under the ice.
We lay like that for what seemed like hours,
but in the end, you rose and opened the door
to let in the cool air, then stood,
naked and glorious,
in the centre of the room.
You looked sad,
and when I asked you what was wrong, you started to cry.
I was puzzled, even more so
as the tears hit your torso
and blossomed at each point of contact into small white feathers
which multiplied and spread
until you were no longer standing before me
and in your place stood a magnificent white bird.
Come down under the ice again
We'll go under the ice again
Creeping back into life again
Let's dive under the ice again
The albatross cocked its head to one side,
as if to ask a question,
and then it was gone,
waddling awkwardly to the door
before spreading its black-edged wings and lifting into the sky suddenly --
perhaps the most graceful thing I had ever seen.
I never did see you again,
but I often think about our night under the ice,
and who I might be today had I managed to keep you with me.
I think maybe it could have worked out,
but I'm sure you had your own reasons for leaving.
Either way, I wish you well,
and wherever you are,
I hope you're happy.
Come down under the ice again
We'll go under the ice again
Creeping back into life again
Let's dive under the ice again
Come down under the ice again
We'll go under the ice again
Creeping back into life again
Let's dive under the ice again
Come down under the ice again
We'll go under the ice again
Creeping back into life again
Let's dive under the ice again
