Lyrics: Peter Rowan
Music: Peter Rowan
Sung by Peter Rowan with Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band at Terrapin Crossroads in
October 2017 as part of a benefit concert for the hurricane victims.
The title in setlists is "Swimming In The Deep Blue Sea". Peter Rowan introduced it:
"This is a song for 'Big Gar', as Vassar used to call him. Jerry Garcia. This is to commemorate Jerry's work in the southern oceans, raising money to bring the reefs back. He loved to skin-dive."Lyrics:
I'm going swimming in the deep blue seaNotes
Just these lonely whales and me
Deep down in the blue Pacific glow
It's only a matter of time
Till you'll be mine
At least that's how the story goes
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got a bell to ring
Ring it, sing it, all night long
First we're here and then we're gone
And I know it won't be long
Till I'm right back in your loving arms again (note 1)
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got a bell to ring
Ring it, sing it, all night long
First we're here and then we're gone
And I know it won't be long
Till I'm right back in your loving arms again
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got a bell to ring
Ring it, sing it, all night long
First we're here and then we're gone
And I know it won't be long
Till I'm right back in your loving arms again
I'm going swimming in the deep blue sea
Just these lonely whales and me
Deep down in the blue Pacific glow
It's only a matter of time
Till you'll be mine
At least that's how the story goes
[Hawaian? lyrics]
Right back in my loving arms again
