The Diving Board

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Took a high dive arcing out wideInto the crowdOut to the sound of their wild applauseBut you've heard it beforeAnd you've seen it allFrom up there on the diving boardYou'd free fall into the etherAbove the peopleOut on a limb fragile and adoredBut who below knows thatYou're still a mysteryWay up on the diving boardSink or swimI can't recallWho said that to me?When I was sixteenAnd full of the world and its noiseBut you beat the drumYou fell in love with it allThe planets alightThose dizzy heightsAnd the view from the diving boardTook the grand prize you and your eyesButterfly lightEscaping the reachOf their fangs and their clawsSuch a pale little thingIn your lily-white skinHigh up on the diving boardSink or swimI can't recallWho said that to me?When I was sixteenAnd full of the world and its noiseBut you beat the drumYou fell in love with it allThe planets alightThose dizzy heightsAnd the view from the diving boardSink or swimI can't recallWho said that to me?When I was sixteenAnd full of the world and its noiseBut you beat the drumYou fell in love with it allThe planets alightThose dizzy heightsAnd the view from the diving boardAnd the view from the diving board
