When The Water's High

Well here I sit by the harbour
The smell of seafood in the air
Remembering the promises & dreams that I once held
Could we have grown too old to care?

There was a time when we would wander
Down by the river hand in hand
There was a time when we made love upon the shore
And sink a bottle as the sun drowned

When the water's high & the seagulls fly in numbers
And the fishing boats will rock upon the waves
The sun will shine it's healing light down on you and I
And we will feel so young again

When bitter words are Iong forgotten
And only gentle thoughts remain
You won't wonder, & I won't question
And it will feel like the first time

When the water's high & the seagulls fly in numbers
And the fishing boats will rock upon the waves
The sun will shine it's healing light down on you and I
And we will feel so young again

You were always looking for the reasons
And I was holding out the blame
But we will scramble through this confusion
And I'll be waiting for that day

When the water's high & the seagulls fly in numbers
And the fishing boats will rock upon the waves
The sun will shine it's healing light down on you and I
And we will feel so young again
