Big Fish

from An Easy Escape by Shelley Segal

/

lyrics

Floating away
Out to sea
I know you're not coming after me

I don't need you
To make it to the shore
But my heart is so heavy it's dragging me down to the ocean floor

And as I fall so quickly down to the bottom
All I see is blue

And though I know I need to be coming up for air
All I want is you

Then a big fish
That was swimming by
Said 'Oh you're a funny girl,
Now don't you cry
You swam together
And then he set you free
So try not to worry
There are plenty more fish in the sea

So don't you cry
No don't you cry
Don't you cry'

Suddenly I'm drowning
And the deep dark closes in
I wanna save my life
But I don't know where to begin

And I wanna stop my ship
From sailing on by
But the ocean is winning
I'm too water-logged to even try

And from my space down here at the bottom
All I see is blue

And though I know I need to be coming up for air
All I want is you

Then a big fish
That was swimming by
Said 'Oh you're a funny girl,
Now don't you cry
You swam together
And then he set you free
So try not to worry
There are plenty more fish in the sea

So don't you cry
No don't you cry
Don't you cry'

Suddenly I'm drowning
And the deep dark rushes in
I wanna save my life
But you made me forget how to swim

And then the big fish
Before it sailed on by
Said 'This is the first day
Of the rest of your life
You swam together
And then he set you free
So try not to worry
There are plenty more fish in the sea

So don't you cry
No don't you cry
Don't you cry'
