DO RE SOL
On a crowded beach in a distant time
DO RE SOL
At the height of summer see a boy of five
DO RE SOL
At the water's edge so nimble and free
DO RE SOL
Jumping over the ripples looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arems up and over the waves
DO RE SOL
Deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
calling him on
(same chord progression, but now its powerchords.)
DO RE SOL
Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen
DO RE SOL
With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans
DO RE SOL
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
DO RE SOL
As a voice cries inside him - I'm a man, I'm a man!
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
DO RE SOL
Deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
calling him on
DO RE SOL
Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
DO RE SOL
He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth
DO RE SOL
And he thinks he can run, it's amatter of pride
DO RE SOL
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide
DO RE SOL
Well the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
DO RE SOL
Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand
DO RE SOL
Says 'There, can you feel it kicking inside!'
DO RE SOL
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine
DO RE SOL
Deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
calling him on
(back to regular chords for this verse)
DO RE SOL
So the clock moves around and the child is a joy
DO RE SOL
But Death doesn't care just who it destroys
DO RE SOL
Now the woamn gets sick, thins down to the bone
DO RE SOL
She says 'Where I'm going next, I'm going alone'
DO RE SOL
Deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
calling him on
DO RE SOL
On a distant beach lonely and wild
DO RE SOL
At a later time see a man and a child
DO RE SOL
And the man takes the child up into his arms
DO RE SOL
Takes her over the breakers
DO RE SOL
To where the water is calm
DO RE SOL
Deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
deeper water,
DO RE SOL
calling him on
