Lyrics
Undertow
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.
Under the silky blue ocean
Reflecting the deep dark sky
The undertow move silently
Beyond the naked eye
A hurricane below the waves
That comes and goes and misbehaves
It's like some crazy hit parade
That steals us all away
I am sailing above blue water
I am sinking, I am so alone
Lead me into your harbor
You can save me from this undertow
Over the night side of heaven
Slipping on shiny black roads
A razor's edge from losing it all
A tear away from hope
Oh if the wind should lift me up
Or if this anchor turns to rust
I know the chance may come but once
To seal my fate to win your love
I am sailing above blue water
I am sinking, I am so alone
Lead me into your harbor
You can save me from this undertow
I need you, wherever you are
Only your love can save me now
I'm so far from the shore
Soon I'll be swept away
Send your love to rescue me
Oooh, send you love to me . . .
I am sailing above blue water
I am sinking, I am so alone
Lead me into your harbor
You can save me from this undertow
