Deeper Water Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On a crowded beach in a distant time
At the height of summer, see a boy of five
At the water's edge, so nimble and free
Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves

[Chorus]
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water
Is calling him on

[Verse 2]
Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen
With a girl in the back seat, tugging at his jeans
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
As a voice cries inside him, "I'm a man, I'm a man!"

[Chorus]
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water
Is calling him on

[Verse 3]
Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
Well, he doesn't know it yet, but he's out of his depth
And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide

[Break]
Deeper water
Deeper water

[Verse 4]
Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand
Says, "There, can you feel it kicking inside?"
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine

[Chorus]
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Is calling him on

[Verse 5]
Yeah, the clock moves around and the child is a joy
But death doesn't care just who it destroys
Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone
She says, "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"

[Break]
Deeper water
Deeper water

[Verse 6]
(Deeper water) On a distant beach, lonely and wild
(Deeper water) At a later time, see a man and a child
(Deeper water) And the man takes the child up into his arms
(Deeper water) Takes her over the breakers
To where the water is calm

[Chorus]
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
