Deeper Water

On a crowded beach in a distant time

At the height of the summer see a boy of five

At the waters edge so nimble and free

Jumpin over the waves looking way out to sea

(No words)

Now a man comes up from amongst the throng

takes the young boy's hands and his hand is strong

And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave

As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves,

Deeper water

Deeper water

Deeper water.....................is calling him on

(no words)

(no words)

(no words)

Lets move forward now and the childs seventeen

With a girl in the back seat tuggin at his jeans

And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hands

And a voice cries inside him, I'm a man, I'm a man

Deeper water

Deeper water

Deeper water.............................is calling him on

Now the man meets a woman unlike the rest

Well he doesn't know it yet but he is out of his depth

And he thinks he can run it's a matter of pride

But he keeps coming back just like a cork on the tide.

Deeper water

Deeper water

Now the years hurry by and the woman loves the man

One night in bed he grabs a hold of his hand

Says 'dad can you feel it kicking inside'

And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine

Deeper water

Deeper water

Deeper water.....................is calling him on

So the clock moves on and the child is a joy

But death doesn't care just who it destroys

Now the woman gets sick

Its down through the bone

She says where I'm going, 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
