Across the Water Lyrics by The Riptide Movement

Getting Through

2014

[Verse 1]
Oh Mary, this place is as good as can be
I'm never home as long as you're not with me
I hope you believe me, if you don't, I would die
And just across the water, I hope you understand
I just got made when the word came through
My heart just sank and I thought of you
But I'll be home as soon as I can
I'm just across the water, I hope you understand
Oh, I'm just across the water, I hope you understand
[Chorus]
Well I can tell you all the nights I haven't cried
That I'm doing good, would I have lied?
I'm in a dark place where the birds don't sing
Even if they did, sorrow's all they bring
[Verse 2]
I received your letter just the other day
Filled with the tears you would long to convey
How you were alone in a cold, empty bed
With the echoes of the words rolling round in your head
With the echoes of the words that remained unsaid
[Chorus]
Well I can tell you all the nights I haven't cried
That I'm doing good, would I have lied?
I'm in a dark place where the birds don't sing
Even if they did, sorrow's all they bring
All they bring
[Bridge]
Words that are known to be true
Words that could be true
Woah, oh, woah, oh
Woah, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, woah, oh
Woah, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
Why you think now, the time, it is right
Bid me farewell, move on with your life
We have grown so far apart
I no longer hold a place in your heart
[Chorus]
Well I can tell you all the lonely nights I've spent
The letters I have written, but never sent
It was never my intention to leave you behind
To hurt you in any way or to be unkind
I was miles away but you were always on my mind
And everything I done was with you in mind
To give you all the joy that I could ever bring
Do you ask for your hand with this diamond ring?
