"Deep Blue" lyrics - BRUCE HORNSBY

I saw a man pursuing the horizon
Round and round they sped
Round and round they sped
Round and round they sped
I was disturbed at this
I accosted the man
It is futile, I said
It is futile, I said
You can never, hmm
You lie, he cried
You lie, he cried and ran on

[Chorus:]
Between heaven and the deep blue sea
Between blue skies and briny deep
That's where we play, you and me
No boundaries
No boundaries, hey-ayy
No boundaries, no boundaries, babe

I'm way out in the middle
Deep in rumination and riddle
I said to the universe
"Sir, I exist"
The universe replied the fact does not create in me
A sense of obligation

[Chorus:]
Between heaven and the deep blue sea
Between blue skies and briny deep
That's where we play, my mermaid and me

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Let's go wildin' on the roof
Out on the roof of the reef
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey-yow
Hey, hey, hey, hey-ayy

[Chorus:]
Between heaven and the deep blue sea
Between blue skies and briny deep
That's where we play, my mermaid and me
