The Water Songtext / Lyric

Telegraph cables hum

And few can decipher who the message is from

And deliver it quietly

'Cause some don't get much company



The harbor becomes the sea

And lighting the house keeps it collision free

Understand the lay of the land

And don't let it hurt you or it will be the first to



The water, the water

Didn't realize

It's dangerous size



The mountain, the mountain

Came to recognize

It's steep and rocky sides

More than realized






Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh



Pale as a pile of bones

You hope for your babies

And this is how they grow



Wind-battered, knocked over

The teeth by the shoulder

Watching the gray sky

That's acting like a good guy



The water, the water

Came to realize

It's a dangerous size



The mountain, the mountain

Came to recognize

It's steep and rocky sides



Came to recognize

It's steep and rocky sides

More than realized
