The water is cold and storm is approaching
Not much of a metaphor this is
Is this the firm ground that I begged for
Seems to be another reef
Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back
Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck
If I do, could you
Swim with me
Swim with me
I'll never forget
I'll never forget again
My clothes are wet I see things clearer
So much clearer than I did
When we were walking hand in hand in the harbour
Watching ships come and go
Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back
Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck
If i do, could you
The distorted surface you see is the mirror of my soul
And this gale is our fear that the fate will take control
But our vessel's way too sound for this storm to swallow
I know someday we'll stand on the ground
Feet in the water so shallow
Feet in the water so shallow
Feet in the water so shallow
