Paul Kelly Deeper Water lyrics translation: KELLY PAUL Paul Kelly Deeper Water song texte and letras KELLY PAUL Paul Kelly Deeper Water tab, paroles and testo KELLY PAUL Paul Kelly Deeper Water Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
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 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
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him 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 amatter 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 him on
So the clock moves around and the child is a joy
But Death doesn`t care just who it destroys
Now the woamn gets sick, thins down to the bone
She says `Where I`m going next, I`m going alone`
Deeper water, deeper water
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
