The Water Lyrics by Feist

The Reminder (Deluxe Edition)

2007

The telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much company
The harbour becomes the sea
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
And don't let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to
The water, the water
Didn't realize its dangerous size
The mountain, the mountain
Came to recognize its steep and rocky sides
More than realized
Pale as a pile of bones
You hope for your babies
And this is how they grow
Wind-battered, knocked over
The teeth by the shoulder
Watching the grey sky
That's acting like a good guy
The water, the water
Came to realize its dangerous size
The mountain, the mountain
Came to recognize its steep and rocky sides
Came to recognize its steep and rocky sides
More than realized
