Young man goes out looking
For the diamond in the sea
Old man rows his boat to shore
And falls on twisted knees

And you'll drown before
The water let's you in
You'll drown before
The water let's you in

The feeling that I fear the most
Is the one that follows me
All across the starry coast
From sea to dying sea. it says

You'll drown before
The water let's you in
You'll drown before
The water let's you in

I think the thing I've wanted most
Was just never meant to be
A thousand waves, a thousand ghosts
Their sorrows follow me

And you'll drown before
The water let's you in
You'll drown before
The water let's you in

Oh horrible, oh horrible day
