We can see so far across the sky We can see so far from here Across the water We can see the tops of the trees I'm holding my arms out steadily I'm keeping my first secure To keep me from sinking To keep me from falling to sleep Without even a wonder In this evening, just fading away And if the water comes up to our necks And it's easier just to give in I will remember what I learned before the flooding came I will remember who I was before the walls gave way. To keep me from sinking To keep me from falling to sleep Without even a wonder In this evening, just fading away
