Shallow Waters
Shallow rivers run between us
Where a stone may never sink
Though we taste, we are left thirsty
For a deep and soulful drink
Narrow channels, barely open
Fraught with dangers out of view
In the current, we are helpless
Still I cling to you
Grab me woman, take me under
Till I can't tell up from down
We have barely got our feet wet
And I want, I want to drown
Shallow rivers run between us
Never mind the nevermore
Up ahead the water quickens
I can hear those rapids roar
Narrow channels, barely open
Flood the waves with treachery
Hope I long to see the sunrise
On a peaceful sea
Grab me woman, take me under
Till I can't tell up from down
We have barely got our feet wet
And I want, I want to drown
