Love's Aquarium

Down at the bottom, down in the sand

Down through the plastic mermaid's hands

Everything settles, quietness,

Then you come along and stir up the past

In love's aquarium

Well I became the troubadour

Of bottom feeders and scavengers

I left the world outside the glass

Then you come along and stir up the past

In love's aquarium

Some may dream, some may wish

For neon tetras or angelfish

I just won some peace at last

Then you come along and stir up the past

In love's aquarium

Black Molly is a friend of mine

She said to leave you far behind

I kissed her knee, the galleon's mast

Then you come along and stir up the past

In love's aquarium

I withdrew into my shell

I wish the kissing fishes well

Life was peaceful not too fast

Then you came along and stirred up the past

In love's aquarium

Why do you come back at all

Just to let the teardrops fall

Till sea plants wave and fishes swim

And all the fools dive right in

In love's aquarium

And the fools dive in

In love's aquarium
