Waterworld

(album: The Cormorant I & II - 2020)

Growing up with all the boys
Oh, the clamor and the noise
We were all elbows and grass stains
Pass a body in the rye
In the summer when it's high
Oh, I believe we were in love

Later on in golden light
Stolen beers on stolen nights
Just you and me in the car
You belonged to waterworld
Holy land for lonely girls
Holding hopes for better

But oh, where did you go
When it was just you alone?
And oh, what we didn't know
We didn't know

Once when you were feeling right
Little moment, that was nice
Two cups of tea in the afternoon light

Happy couple, happy home
When we found you all alone
Crying in the kitchen
The quiet spells and sudden moods
Sometimes we were scared of you
We didn't know the difference

But oh, where did you go
When it was just you alone?
And oh, what we didn't know
We didn't know

There's an underwater place
Where we cannot see your face
And you won't let anybody near you
In an underwater world
You are not the only girl
Trying to hold your breath until they love you

There's an underwater place (There's water in the street)
Where we cannot see your face
And you won't let anybody near you (There's water in the bed)
In an underwater world (There's water in the morning)
You are not the only girl
Trying to hold your breath until they love you (There's water in the afternoon)

There's water in the street
There's water in the bed
There's water in the morning
There's water in the afternoon
