deep the water - Lewis Watson

When your hair spills light on my shoulders

And your eyes wide;

emerald green

You are the love-warm when it gets colder

The silver sunset watching the sea

But as the grey notes sing through the windows

Where do you go?

Why do you leave?

As the waves grow, harder the days go

Darling I’m folding, I’m on my knees

You give me nothing, when there’s nothing else

So deep, the water

But you’re hiding in the shallows and you come running

When you’re running out

So deep, the water

So deep, the water and I’m left here drowning out

And your heart weighs down on my shoulders

And your eyes wide lose me at sea

And your words make a fire that smolders

You are the moon pulling tides over me

[Pre-Chorus

Giving me grey notes, scream through the windows

Where do you go?

Why do you leave?

And as the waves grow, harder the days go

Darling I’m folded, I’m on my knees

You give me nothing, when there’s nothing else

So deep, the water

But you’re hiding in the shallows then you come running

When you’re running out

So deep, the water

So deep, the water and I’m left here drowning out

Losing light, beneath the silent sky I’m

Losing light, above the ocean wide I’m

Losing light, I’m sinking slowly

As we’re losing light my love

You give me nothing, when there’s nothing else

So deep, the water

But you’re hiding in the shallows then you come running

When you’re running out

So deep, the water

So deep, the water and I’m left here drowning out

When there’s nothing else

So deep, the water

But you’re hiding in the shallows then you come running

When you’re running out

So deep, the water

So deep, the water and I’m left here drowning out

So deep, the water

So deep, the water

So deep, the water and I’m left here drowning out

So deep, the water

So deep, the water

So deep, the water and I’m left here drowning out
