How many times have I had this dream
That wakes me from my slumber?
How will I ever get to sleep again
Counting sheep in a Book of Numbers?
How many times have I had this dream
With you walking towards me from the river?
And when will I ever get to rest again
Wondering if I can deliver?
This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Calling out your name
This is the sound of atmospheres
Three metric tonnes of pressure
This is the sum of all my fears
Something I just can't measure
I remеmber the story of Jonah
He was trappеd in the belly of a whale
How many times must he succeed?
How many times must he fail?
This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Calling out your name
I'll see my shrink on an analyst's couch
Hit me with a hammer, and I'll say ouch
What we have here is so easy to solve
Just takes a firm purpose and some resolve
This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Calling out your name
This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Calling out your name
Your name, your name
Your name, your name
Your name, your name, your name, your
Ease into the water
Flooding through your brain
Ease into the water
Calling out your name
Ease into the water
Flooding through your brain
Ease into the water
