Deeper Water lyrics
On a crowded beach in a distant time At the height of summer see a boy of
five At the water's edge so nimble and free Jumping over the ripples
looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amoungst the
throng Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong And the child
feels safe, yeah the child feels brave As he's carried in those arems up and
over the waves
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen With a girl in the
back seat tugging at his jeans And she knows what she wants, she guides with
her hand As a voice cries inside him - I'm a man, I'm a man!
Deeper
water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
Now the man meets a
woman unlike all the rest He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his
depth And he thinks he can run, it's amatter of pride But he keeps coming
back like a cork on the tide
Well the years hurry by and the woman loves
the man Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand Says 'There,
can you feel it kicking inside!' And the man gets a shiver right up and down
his spine
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
So the clock moves around and the child is a joy But Death doesn't
care just who it destroys Now the woamn gets sick, thins down to the
bone She says 'Where I'm going next, I'm going alone'
Deeper water,
deeper water
On a distant beach lonely and wild At a later time see
a man and a child And the man takes the child up into his arms Takes her
over the breakers To where the water is calm
Deeper water, deeper
water, Deeper water, calling them on
