Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Honeymoon cruise ship disappearance:
Jennifer & George Smith )
BELOW THE SURFACE
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

1: I'd heard that marriage can kill you,
but isn't that- over years?
At least not within a week on the honeymoon.
For sure, that's not what they tell you.
They do not want to bring- up fears
when talking about ten thousand for a pleasure cruise.

2: The Captain's table was crowded
each night as we- made new friends.
My bride was especia'ly hot- in that backless gown.
For sure, there's plenty of drinking.
Nobody wants the fun- to end.
I guess it was in the boozing that I started to drown.

CHORUS:
Below the surface, it's all so well concealed.
I think I really went overboard this time.
Below the surface, there's not too much revealed.
I think I really went overboard this time.

3: What happened still comes up murky.
My bride and I went sep'rate ways.
It seemed like our new-found friends wanted us apart.
Yeah, some of them had been flirting.
I guess up to a point it's okay.
When I said I had to find her, something hit- me hard.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
It's not too clear whether I'm in the water or floating
somewhere above the ship, somewhere in- the clouds.
There're others here from other "accidents" boating.
It seems I'm not the only one whose passage was- in doubt.

4: The Captain's table is crowded
each night as the big ship sails on
with barely a pause for Turkish fuzz to come aboard.
A white-washed investigation
to find out where the groom- had gone
is quickly determined accidental drowning, of course.
CHORUS:

CODA:
Smooth sailing, nothing but clear skies & balmy seas.
Smooth sailing as it all washes over me,
full speed ahead.

7-5-05:
Jennifer & George Smith's honeymoon cruise
aboard the ship Brilliance of the Seas was interrupted
by his mysterious disappearance, as yet unsolved.
Turkish authorities & Royal Caribbean have been accused of not
properly handling or investigating the highly suspicious incident.
Numerous other cases of cruise ship disappearances
& crimes have been brought to light,
with ships not stopping to search overboard
until so ordered by authorities,
with delayed response, arrogance & cover-up
seeming to be standard operating procedure.
