Shallow Rivers

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

Grab me woman, take me under

Till I can't 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

Grab me woman, take me under

Till I can't tell up from down

We have barely got our feet wet

And I want, I want to drown
