Otter In the Sea

I asked her to move and so she moved to the side
We both knew what would happen when our personalities collide
I put myself in her place, she put herself in mine
Avoiding collisions with respectful declines
We filled in the spaces that we needed suppose
No one was acting but we were playing those roles
The time we were seeking while watching the clock
No one was speaking we reached the mental block

If I ever come to you like otter in the sea
Sit me down and turn me round
And tell me if I love us let us be free

Well born in the city and born on the farm
We were both committing without an E.R
Someone was helping and someone was cruel
But we couldn't figure out who was playing the fool
The secret of childhood the secret of man
It's such a big secret I don't think I'll ever understand
We watch what we say we watch what we do
It's all this damn watching that makes it not true

If I ever come to you like otter in the sea
Sit me down and turn me round
And tell me if I love us let us be free

Well flatter me this and flatter me that
Flatter me all over and pat me on the back
Complicated questions symbolic sounding words
Starting to confuse me use me first second and third
The time now we're taking apart from the scene
Rolling green pastures of creation and of green
We'll stop for a moment and look up above
Maybe I'll see on another land called love

If I ever come to you like otter in the sea
Sit me down and turn me round
And tell me if I love us let us
If I ever come to you like otter in the sea
Sit me down and turn me round
And tell me if I love us let us be free
