Yellow Submarine

Here I am in Marky's room, early on Tuesday morning. Mark is still away at Safehaven and the room is strangely quiet. Although Mark himself is so quiet these days, all of his pumps can make his room sound like a submarine.

I close my eyes and try to imagine being in a sub with Marky and then the Beatles lyrics come into my head.

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

[Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Action station! Action station!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Heaven! Heaven!]

As we live a life of ease (A life of ease)
Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need (Has all we need)
Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of green)
In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (Submarine, ha, ha)

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

.....


Marky's at the helm
and he's having quite a time
and the rest of us are here
we're all feeling quite sublime

We all live in a yellow submarine

What a trip, thanks Mark. We miss you, see you soon.
