[Verse]
I've gone, wandered to the brink
See now, I don't know what became of me
All the same...
Wrote you a line just to tell you how I've been
Oh, where did the days go?
Honestly I'm not the same man, the man I was then

[Chorus:]
The water rises,
The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming
The water rises between you and me.

[Verse]
And just like you said, my life ain't so wonderful
Oh, how can I relate? Standing in the line?
Waiting for grace, waiting for a light to shine? Well...

[Chorus:]
The water rises
The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming
The water rises
Oh, where we're going the angels are singing
The water rises...

[Bridge:]
Days, ebb and flowing
But I just don't know if the
Months that go are
Stealing my time
And still, I believe it
The moment is fleeting
Treading the current
To keep my head high, well,

[Chorus:]
The water rises
The wind keeps blowing, the waves keep coming
The water rises
Oh, where we're going the angels will be singing
The water rises between you and me.
