And the spell it was broken
And I saw with my own eyes
I never knew that the water could rise so very high
There was a time I remember
There was a time it was otherwise
There was a time that the water didn't rise and rise
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
I never learned to turn my boat
Into the waves to survive
I let the cruel, cruel water just rise and rise
Was there a time, can I remember?
Was there a time when it was otherwise?
Was there a time that the water didn't rise so very high?
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
And the spell it was broken
And I saw with my own eyes
I never knew that the water could rise so very high
There was a time I remember
There was a time it was otherwise
There was a time that the water didn't rise and rise
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
I never learned to turn my boat
Into the waves to survive
I let the cruel, cruel water just rise and rise
Was there a time, can I remember?
Was there a time when it was otherwise?
Was there a time that the water didn't rise so very high?
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
