The Diver Lyrics - Anja Garbarek

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
