[Intro]
Home is in the water
Home is in the water
Home is in the water
Where I'm in the water
Ever's in the water
If there's magic in the water?
If there's magic in the water?
[Verse 1]

Out on the horizon
Just a little light there

[Chorus]

I should've known that
They'll be coming right back
Through the ripples of black
[Verse 2]
Just a little light flickering
Out on the horizon
Just a little light there
What am I...?
[Chorus]
Your face
Your phasing
Swollen zodiac
In the ripples of black
[Bridge]
If there's magic in the water
If there's magic in the water
I have found you
[Instrumental Chorus]
