I've gone, wandered to the brink See now, I don't know what became of me All the same... Wrote you a line just to tell you how I've been Oh, where did the days go? Honestly I'm not the same man, the man I was then The water rises, The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming The water rises between you and me. And just like you said, my life ain't so wonderful Oh, how can I relate? Standing in the line? Waiting for grace, waiting for a light to shine? Well... The water rises The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming The water rises Oh, where we're going the angels are singing The water rises... Days, ebb and flowing But I just don't know if the Months that go are Stealing my time And still, I believe it The moment is fleeting Treading the current To keep my head high, well, The water rises The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming The water rises Oh, where we're going the angels will be singing The water rises between you and me.
