Deeper Water Lyrics - Goin' Your Way - Neil Finn

On a crowded beach in a distant time 

At the height of summer see a boy of five 

At the water's edge so nimble and free 

Jumping over the ripples looking way out to sea 

Now a man comes up from amongst 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 arms up and over the waves 

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling them on 

Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen 

With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans 

And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand 

As a voice cries inside him - I'm a man, I'm a man!

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on 

Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest 

He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth 

And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride 

But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide 

Well the years hurry by and the woman loves the man 

Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand 

Says 'There, can you feel it kicking inside!' 

And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine 

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling them on 

So the clock moves around and the child is a joy 

But Death doesn't care just who it destroys 

Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone 

She says 'Where I'm going next, I'm going alone'

On a distant beach lonely and wild 

At a later time see a man and a child 

And the man takes the child up into his arms 

Takes her over the breakers 

To where the water is calm 

Deeper water, deeper water, 

deeper water, calling them on
