Rushing Water - Sting

How many times have I had this dream

That wakes me from my slumber?

How will I ever get to sleep again

Counting sheep in a Book of Numbers?

How many times have I had this dream

With you walking towards me from the river?

And when will I ever get to rest again

Wondering if I can deliver?

This is the sound of rushing water

Flooding through my brain

This is the sound of God's own daughter

Calling out your name

This is the sound of atmospheres

Three metric tonnes of pressure

This is the sum of all my fears

Something I just can't measure

I remember the story of Jonah

He was trapped in the belly of a whale

How many times must he succeed?

How many times must he fail?

This is the sound of rushing water

Flooding through my brain

This is the sound of God's own daughter

Calling out your name

I'll see my shrink on an analyst's couch

Hit me with a hammer and I'll say 'ouch'

What we have here is so easy to solve

Just takes a firm purpose and some resolve

This is the sound of rushing water

Flooding through my brain

This is the sound of God's own daughter

Calling out your name

This is the sound of rushing water

Flooding through my brain

This is the sound of God's own daughter

Calling out your name...

Ease into the water

Flooding through your brain

Ease into the water

Calling out your name

Ease into the water

Flooding through your brain

Ease into the water
