Verse 1
 Momma loves her baby
 And daddy loves you too
 And the sea may look warm to you babe
 And the sky may look blue
 Ooooh babe
 Ooooh baby blue
 Ooooh babe

Verse 2
 If you should go skating
 On the thin ice of modern life
 Dragging behind you the silent reproach
 Of a million tear stained eyes
 Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
 Appears under your feet
 You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
 With your fear flowing out behind you
 As you claw the thin ice
