The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how The sky above opened up, and let it out I was standing on the surface of a perferated sphere when the water filled every hole And thousands upon thousands made an ocean-making island where no island should go Oh no Most people are overjoyed; they took to their bones I thought it less like a lake and more like mode The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forevermore And the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row It seems farther than ever before Oh no I need you so much closer So come on; come on Ahhhh
