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 pa**ed 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
