What awaits us around the corner What lies there that we can't see Is there someone with the answer waiting patiently for me? Somebody who can see it all And know exactly what it's worth Is it just the way they tell it? Or has it all been just a bluff? High time, high water Rising way above my head High time and high water Drowing out, just drowing out the words I said Like kings and princes in their steeple It all looks good from where they stayed While down below their hungry people Try to scrape a living from the land High time, high water Rising way above my head High time and high water Drowing out, just drowing out the words I said Clowns and jesters entertaining Choking tears behind a smile Like some instrument of pleasure Are cast aside after a while
