Deep Waters

The Black League


I see you... in a velvet robe, 
I feel you... from across the wave 
I hear you... calling me 

Deep waters... Calling men. Calling women. 
And calling children 
Deep waters... Calling men. Calling women. 
Calling. Calling! 

My people! Now hear the News: 
No more room when the Ark is full 
And it seems like every path leads down to nowhere (Well, what can I say?) 
From now on no easy way, 
And for some of us there ain't no way at all 
'tis like a Midsummer Night's Dream 

Deep waters... Calling men. Calling women. 
And calling children 
Deep waters... Calling men. Calling women. 
Calling. Calling! 

Drifting... Now you've set yourself a-drifting... 
Towards the sea... 
Drifting... With the stream of consciousness now drifting... 
Towards the sea... 
Drifting... drifting... like a long and silent river you are... 
You are... you are a-drifting. 
Drifting! Drifting! 
For life's too long and life's too short and you are a-drifting... 
You're drifting away - You've set yourself astray...
