Lyrics
The Water Lets You In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Young man goes out looking
For the diamond in the sea
Old man rows his boat to shore
And falls on twisted knees
And you'll drown before
The water lets you in
You'll drown before
The water lets you in
The feeling that I fear the most
Is the one that follows me
All across the starry coast
From sea to dying sea. It says
You'll drown before
The water lets you in
You'll drown before
The water lets you in
I think the thing I've wanted most
Was just never meant to be
A thousand waves, a thousand ghosts
Their sorrows follow me
And you'll drown before
The water lets you in
You'll drown before
The water lets you in
Oh horrible, oh horrible day
