The Man

Walk me out by the water's edge
Oh my brother, I'm coming down
We are young, we are almost there
And the man keeps coming round
And I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
But here we are in dawning light
And words cannot describe
Walk my out in the morning sun
Oh sweet momma I'm coming down
We are you, we are almost there
And the man keeps coming round
And I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
But here we are in dawning light
And words cannot describe
It's clear to me, you're like
The oceans and light
Shine and you will remember what you used to feel
It's clear to me this day
I'll take you for a ride
Place that you must have long been
Buried in
And I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
But here we are in dawning light
And words cannot
Words...
Walk me out by the water's edge
Oh my brother, I'm coming down
We are young, we are almost there
And the man keeps coming round
And the man keeps coming
