Dark Parts of the Sea

Claire on Twitter (@Novembervivi) tweeted to me last night that she was worried about the fish in the dark parts of the sea. 

It was apropos of something else so not as random as it may sound here. The thought resonated in my head. I thought there might be one of my crap song lyrics in it.

So here it is.

Thanks Claire. :)

(Anyone got a tune?)

Dark Parts of the Sea

I worry for the fish

In the dark parts of the sea

How do they find their way about

How did they come to be

I wonder are they lonely

I wonder do they frown

Alone there in their icy lair

Eight thousand metres down

Are they always rather anxious 

Do their jaws ever unclench

In the unremitting blackness

Of the Mariana Trench

I worry for the fish

In the dark parts of the sea

They remind me of the way we are

You and you and me.
