The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how;
The clouds above opened up and let it out.

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go...
Oh, no

Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing floodlands to your door have been silenced forever more
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row;
It seems farther than ever before...
Oh, no....

I need you so much closer...
