CDG
On a crowded beach in a distant time
CDG
At the height of summer see a boy of five
CDG
At the water's edge so nimble and free
CDG
Jumping over the ripples looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arems up and over the waves
[Chorus]
CDG
Deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
calling him on
(same chord progression, but now its powerchords.)
[Verse]
CDG
Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen
CDG
With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans
CDG
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
CDG
As a voice cries inside him - I'm a man, I'm a man!
Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on
[Chorus]
CDG
Deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
calling him on
[Verse]
CDG
Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
CDG
He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth
CDG
And he thinks he can run, it's amatter of pride
CDG
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide
CDG
Well the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
CDG
Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand
CDG
Says 'There, can you feel it kicking inside!'
CDG
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine
[Chorus]
CDG
Deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
calling him on
[Verse]
(back to regular chords for this verse)
CDG
So the clock moves around and the child is a joy
CDG
But Death doesn't care just who it destroys
CDG
Now the woamn gets sick, thins down to the bone
CDG
She says 'Where I'm going next, I'm going alone'
[Chorus]
CDG
Deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
calling him on
CDG
On a distant beach lonely and wild
CDG
At a later time see a man and a child
CDG
And the man takes the child up into his arms
CDG
Takes her over the breakers
CDG
To where the water is calm
CDG
Deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
deeper water,
CDG
calling him on
