I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim
|
I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in
|
I saw the water shimmer
|
I heard the wind howl
|
I saw my own reflection
|
I just can't see it now
|
|
You say it's the way of the world
|
To somehow co-exists
|
That eventually life unfurls
|
A path to happiness
|
|
So I whisper your little secret
|
And repeat it under my breath
|
I'll save it for you in my heart
|
In case we both forget
|
|
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
|
I am gripped by a loneliness
|
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
|
I'd be released in your tenderness
|
I'd be released in your tenderness
|
|
I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse
|
I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip
|
I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins
|
I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again
|
|
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
|
I am gripped by a loneliness
|
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
|
I'd be released in your tenderness
|
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
|
I am gripped by a loneliness
|
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
|
I'd be released in your tenderness
|
I'd be released in your tenderness
|
I'd be released in your tenderness
|
