Deeper Water - Live Lyrics
[00:24.08] On a crowded beach in a distant time
[00:28.13] At the height of summer, see a boy of five
[00:32.26] At the water's edge, so nimble and free
[00:36.25] Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea
[00:41.89]
[00:44.39] Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
[00:48.42] Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
[00:52.56] The child feels safe, the child feels brave
[00:56.57] As he's carried in those arms, up and over the wave
[01:01.87]
[01:04.15] Deeper water
[01:08.16] Deeper water
[01:08.60] Deeper water
[01:11.87] Calling him on
[01:15.31]
[01:37.83] Let's move forward now, the child's seventeen
[01:41.70] With a girl in the back seat, tugging at his jeans
[01:45.57] She knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
[01:49.45] But a voice cuts inside him, "I'm a man, I'm a man"
[01:56.52] Deeper water
[02:00.30] Deeper water
[02:02.55] Deeper water
[02:03.91] Calling him on
[02:07.05]
[02:16.07] Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
[02:19.81] Well, he doesn't know it yet, but he's out of his depth
[02:23.66] And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride
[02:27.48] But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide
[02:32.50] Deeper water
[02:36.27] Deeper water
[02:38.80] Now the years hurry by, the woman loves the man
[02:42.73] One night in the dark, she grabs hold of his hand
[02:46.51] Says, "There, can you feel it kicking inside?"
[02:50.31] And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine
[02:53.78] Deeper water (Deeper water)
[02:57.50] Deeper water (Deeper water)
[03:01.35] Deeper water (Deeper water)
[03:04.95] Calling him on
[03:09.01]
[03:36.45] Now the clock moves around, the child is a joy
[03:40.45] But death doesn't care just who it destroys
[03:44.48] Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone
[03:47.82] She says, "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"
[03:53.42] Deeper water
[03:57.23] Deeper water
[03:59.88] On a distant beach, lonely and wild
[04:03.63] At a later time, she's man and child
[04:07.40] And the man takes the child up into his arms
[04:11.22] Takes her over the place where the world has gone
[04:14.63] Deeper water (Deeper water)
[04:18.48] Deeper water (Deeper water)
[04:20.57] Deeper water (Deeper water)
[04:23.85] Deeper water
[05:03.51]
