High Water lyrics

When the waters rose in the darkness

In the wake of the endless flood

It flowed into our memory

It flowed into our blood

When something broke the surface

Just to see the starry dome

We still feel that relation

When the water takes us home

In the flying spray of the ocean

The water takes you home

Springing from the weight of the mountains

Like the heart of the earth would burst

Flowing out from marble fountains

In the dreams of a desert thirst

Something swam through the jungles

Where the mighty rivers roam

Something breaks the silence

When the water takes you home

I hear the wordless voices

When the water takes me home

Waves that crash on the shoreline

Torrents of tropical rain streaming down

Beyond our memory

Streaming down inside our veins

When something left the ocean

To crawl high above the foam

We still feel that elation

When the water takes us home

In a driving rain of redemption

The water takes me home
