Down by the water, I'm thinking of you
In the place by the shore, where the waves carry through
I let the drift take me and drown in the flow

In the old lonely fields, I lost my soul too
With the heavens above me, I'll be leaving here soon
And the leaves will fall down or be buried in snow

Drifting, drifting, drifting alone
Is there no-one to carry this beggar back home
Gazing, gazing, gazing at you
There's a rift in my soul, and nothing to do

Lost in the desert, still lost in my mind
Lonely and wasted, with nothing but time
With a lifetime of thinking, of thinking of you

(Chorus)

Down by the water, I drown in the tide
Cold, chilled and soulless, with nowhere to hide
They'll bury me deeply, and be none too soon

(Chorus)

Down by the water, I'm thinking of you
In the place by the shore, where the waves carry through
I let the drift take me and drown in the flow

In the old lonel fields, I lost my soul too
With heavens above me, I'll be leaving here soon
And the leaves will fall down and be buried in snow

(Chorus)
