Ice has formed and there's snow between the tracks
|
And I have seen the surface tear and I can't look back
|
And cool low sun has blinded you for days from horizon to horizon can I dream
|
this all away?
|
|
But over the water over the sea
|
There's you shining bright in a sea of fools
|
Oh I can sing you out of this...
|
Can shake your mermaids blues
|
Come with me for alone I fear the tide
|
It's calling me and dragging me and I think it's time
|
|
But over the water over the water over the sea
|
|
Shape your mouth to fit these words of war
|
I see the arrows falling backwards burning for a cause I'll swim with you until
|
my lungs give out
|
Oh I can raise you from the deep or drown with you in doubt
|
|
But over the water over the water over the water with you....
|
....With you.... With you
|
