Lyrics Kirsty MacColl

Kirsty MacColl

Sun on the Water

Sun on the water

Making it hard to see

Sun on the water

Lapping around my feet

Sun on the water

Making it hard to see

Sun on the water

Lapping around my feet

A farmer's daughter

Living a long time ago

She had a notion

To go where the rivers flow

Farmer's daughter

Walked for a year and a day

When she reached the ocean

Grew a tail and swam away

It was the place where she felt free

And Heaven lies under the sea

Hell is just dry land to me

When I'm dreaming

Sun on the water

Lapping around my feet

Sun on the water

Making it hard to see

Sun on the water

Lapping around my feet

Sun on the water

Making it hard to see

I want to be the one to say

I'm happy here and here I'll stay

I won't remember yesterday

When I'm dreaming

It was the place where she felt free

And Heaven lies under the sea

Hell is just dry land to me

When I'm dreaming
