Velvet Belly - So Close

music : Velvet Belly
lyrics : Anne Marie Almedal

No one has ever been so close to the deep
And no man has ever seen what he's just seen
He took the chance alone and
It's a true wonder that he came back alive
Now it's our turn to dive

It was all he ever lived for
And all he ever had

It was the vision of what he might find
And he's spent all his time
We've been talking about him and
We've watched him work
Until the late night hours

It was all he ever lived for
And all he ever had

He never took the chance on losing time
It was always on his mind
He never had a friend that could show him
Life on the other side
He was always on his own

But no one has ever been so close to the deep
Now we all want to see what he's just seen
We'll pull out the best and the worst
And twist it around
Until there's nothing left of what he once found

It was all he ever lived for
And all he ever had
