Shallow rivers run between us Where a stone may never sink. Though we taste, we are left thirsty For a deep and soulful drink. Narrow channels, barely open Fraught with dangers out of view; In the current, we are helpless Still I cling to you. (chorus) Grab me woman, take me under, Till I cant tell up from down. We have barely got our feet wet And I want, I want to drown. Shallow rivers run between us Never mind the nevermore, Up ahead the water quickens; I can hear those rapids roar. Narrow channels, barely open Flood the waves with treachery, Hope I long to see the sunrise On a peaceful sea. (chorus)
