I've gone, wandered to the brink
See now, I don't know what became of me
All the same
Wrote you a line just to tell you how I've been
Oh, where did the days go?
Honestly I'm not the same man, the man I was then

The water rises
The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming
The water rises between you and me

And just like you said, my life ain't so wonderful
Oh, how can I relate? Standing in the line?
Waiting for grace, waiting for a light to shine? Well

The water rises
The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming
The water rises
Oh, where we're going the angels are singing
The water rises

Days, ebb and flowing
But I just don't know if the
Months that go are
Stealing my time
And still, I believe it
The moment is fleeting
Treading the current
To keep my head high, well

The water rises
The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming
The water rises
Oh, where we're going the angels will be singing
The water rises between you and me
