Down To The Water - Willie P. Bennett
My mind was sinking in a sea of darkness
My eyes were blinded by the sight of you
Your reasons for leaving were not all that harmless
The lessons I learned both straight and true
The stars were rising in a light of triumph
The time for leaving was about half gone
The sun was drowning in sea of silver
My heart was as low as the sun in the dawn
So come on
Let's go down to the water
And show me what you think is so true
You know that you could
Let's go down to the water
I'd show you my crown if I could
My mouth was frozen in a thousand faces
My words were hanging in the air
My thoughts were scattered in a thousand places
How come you start out running scared
The time was running on a little further
The moon was rising right beside your head
Do you always lose yourself in someone else's need
Always looking to find love in a bed
So come on
Let's go down to the water
And show me what you think is so true
You know that you could
Let's go down to the water
I'd show you my crown if I could
(Instrumental Verse)
Thinking about the wings of a seagull
Spending my time on everyone
You could keep on reaching out forever and forever
With out ever touching anyone
So come on
Let's go down to the water
And show me what you think is so true
You know that you could
Let's go down to the water
I'd show you my crown if I could
