Cyndi Lauper Water`s Edge Lyrics

Water`s Edge Lyrics

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
