Water On The Rise
The old men say the sea is not forgiving That she aches for the living with an Eternal belly that swallowed her soul
They say he heard a voice that came from the sky And it told him what to do to survive So he took his axe to the cypress and oak He dug the bark and ripped the leaves That turned poison into air to breathe And he didn't stop until he'd built a boat
I was standing on a mountaintop And I stood still until I saw the water on the rise I watched as the buildings fell I had so much to say and no one to tell I thought of you as his ship went by I was the highest point of the planet Earth But lower than I'd ever been before I caught his eye and I saw him smile
I tried to understand what he'd done I weighed what he'd been given Against what he'd given up He gave up everything for love
As the gulls creaked a hymn He washed his hands of salt and sin And prayed for the water to get shallow He kept his fingers on his pulse Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To keep his mind off all he'd lost He chose the rosary I chose the gallows Because I'd rather be gone than stay here alone And have the whole wide world With nowhere to call home I'd rather be lost than have nowhere to go
I tried to understand what he'd done I weighed what he'd been given Against what he'd given up I'd give up everything for love
I'd rip the globe at the seams I'd let the whole world fall in the sea If I thought, If I thought it'd bring you closer to me
And I would rip the globe I would rip the globe I would rip the globe The globe, the globe I'd rip the globe at the seams I'd let the whole world fall in the sea If I thought, If I thought it'd bring you closer to me
