In The Rapids

Moving down the water
John is drifting out of sight
Its only at the turning point
That you find out how you fight
In the cold, feel the cold
All around
And the rush of crashing water
Surrounds me with its sound
Striking out to reach you
I can't get through to the other side
When you're racing in the rapids
There's only one way, thats to ride
Taken down, taken down
By the undertow
I'm spiralled down the river bed
My fire is burning low
Catching hold of a rock that's firm
I'm waiting for john to be carried past
We hold together, hold together and shoot the rapids fast
And when the waters slow down
The dark and the deep
Have no-one, no-one, no-one, no-one
No-one left to keep
Hang on, John! We're out of this at last
Somethings changed, that's not your face
It's mine! It's mine!
