Gold in the Water

I woke up today like a ship cut loose
And the wind in the night carried me out to sea
What puts me to bed is what I lose
When these eyes of mine come staring back at me

I don't cry for the rising sun
All this dark is hard but you will grow taller
And the dreams of a buoy are the gold in the water
They will come
They will come
They will come

I set the valley on fire and I'm running for the hills
And the flame growing higher is licking at my heels
And there's a cliff up-top just waiting on my fall
I'd give everything to get up and still I'm going to lose it all

I won't cry for the rising sun
All this dark is hard but I will grow taller
And the dreams of a buoy are the gold in the water
They will come
They will come
They will come

I feel older by a thousand years
All these broken things are burning at my side
I wanna see through the mist and out into the clear
But I'm blind just the same by day and by night

Still, I won't cry for the rising sun
All this dark is hard but I will grow taller
And the dreams of a buoy are the gold in the water
They will come
They will come
They will come
