Water
by John Michael Ray

I can recall, not long ago
My world brightened by your smile
When I looked again, it had been turned down
Had been turned down for a while
I can recall, not long ago
You wanting us to grow old
But as our heat began to rise
You grew nothing but cold
I can recall not long ago
Your promises made in the dark
Before I could see you bare your teeth
You bit, without even a bark
I can recall not long ago
You parting that deep blue sea
And as I got halfway across
Water crashing down on me

As that water crashes down on me
I'm taken by the peace
Ebb and flow surround me
I can finally breathe
As that water crashes down on me
Safely I may roam
Water is my saviour
Water is my home

I can foresee, not long from now
Your whole world falling down
And while you pick those pieces up
What goes around comes around
I can foresee, not long from now
You ending up all alone
No warm arms to hold you through the night
No messages on your phone
I can foresee, not long from now
Your people all getting wise
They'll sense it, feel it, somehow know
They'll see it in your eyes
I can foresee, not long from now
Water crashing down on you
There'll be no parting of that deep blue sea
You'll drown knowing what was true

As that water crashes down on me
I'm taken by the peace
Ebb and flow surround me
I can finally breathe
As that water crashes down on me
Safely I may roam
Water is my saviour
Water is my home
