The Diver
Standing high above us all
At the edge of the diving board
Smiling and waving
Before letting himself fall
The faintest splash
(As the water engulfed him)
It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch
He was probably the world's best diver
Probably the world's best diver
He was the world's best diver, probably
Touching the bottom
He pushed away with both legs
And cut through the surface like a fish
The faintest splash
As the water engulfed him
It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch
I stay high above
He was the world's best diver
(But he could not swim)
It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch
