The Water Lyrics by Sive

The Roaring Girl

2017

Do you recall that morning when I sailed to sea?
I pulled my boat out on the lonely sheets
The water, the water, it filled the hole
The hole in my boat I had allowed to grow

Do you recall that morning when I ran away?
Put on my boots and not a word did I say
The water, the water, it filled my eyes
I hung myself out all alone, but they would not dry

The water will carry me until I learn to breathe
The water might set me free, if I could find my own two feet

It seems like the hand that threw your words across the room
Has torn me out from my warm cocoon
The water, the water, it's cold out there
It fills you, then leaves you a heavy head to bear

Don't come creeping in on me
Sing as you move your feet
The gulls plunge downward in a spin
Tell them to eat my skin
Because their hunger grows
If they took it and rose, I would fly with them on the wind
I would fly with them on the wind
Don't come creeping up on me
Roar as your body weaves
Swallow me into your waves
I no longer want to be safe
I will dive real low, hold my breath as I go
'Til the water will set me free
'Til the water will set me free
'Til the water will set me free
'Til the water will set me free

The water, the water will set me free
If I can find my own two feet
