I
Just
Can't
Stand
It
Any
Longer.....

Meanwhile, where would I like to be? Easy.

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

It has been a while since I did any diving, but I did so around Anilao and Coron Island in the Philippines. The coral reefs, fish and aquatic plants sometimes reminded me of a Christmas tree with all the colors and ornamentation. The beauty cannot adequately be described by words, so I will stop here. Most of the colors were best observed above 50 feet. At 200 feet down everything looked blue or brown.
