Don't want to walk upon the water
Don't want to look across the waves
Instead of seeing hills of waterI just see markers on their gravesBut in the fading of a season
To look across an empty sky
For a forgotten childhood reason
To once more wish that you couldClose your eyes and just believe again
There's a god does he remember when
We were young and faith was not pretendAnymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
And in the night he sees the ocean
Carve its thoughts upon the shore
For in the way it was created
It can do this and nothing moreAnd every message it would leave him
The next wave carefully erased
As the tears that passed between themWere so real that you couldClose your eyes and just believe again
There's a god and he remembers when
We were young and faith was not pretendAnymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
And all at once the waves were getting
Higher
And as they crashed I thought I heard them say
There'd be a time when men would all be wiser
When everyone, everyone,Yes everyone isSavedAnd as he walked away he thought aboutThat third stowaway once more
And wondered if the body had washed upUpon some far and distant shoreOr if it sank down through the depths
Of cold reality
To rest upon the ocean floor
For all eternityFor at the bottom of the sea
The dead do not feel pain
And neath the ocean made of tearsThey never fear the rainBut what had really happened
Was a stranger twist of fate
That the deckhand was to never know
But to you I will relate
