Don't want to walk upon the water Don't want to look across the waves Instead of seeing hills of water
I just see markers on their graves
But in the fading of a season To look across an empty sky For a forgotten childhood reason To once more wish that you could
Close your eyes and just believe again There's a god does he remember when We were young and faith was not pretend
Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore
And in the night he sees the ocean Carve its thoughts upon the shore For in the way it was created It can do this and nothing more
And every message it would leave him The next wave carefully erased As the tears that passed between them
Were so real that you could
Close your eyes and just believe again There's a god and he remembers when We were young and faith was not pretend
Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore
And all at once the waves were getting Higher And as they crashed I thought I heard them say There'd be a time when men would all be wiser When everyone, everyone,
Yes everyone is
Saved
And as he walked away he thought about
That third stowaway once more And wondered if the body had washed up
Upon some far and distant shore
Or if it sank down through the depths Of cold reality To rest upon the ocean floor For all eternity
For at the bottom of the sea The dead do not feel pain And neath the ocean made of tears
They never fear the rain
But what had really happened Was a stranger twist of fate That the deckhand was to never know But to you I will relate
