Lyrics New Model Army

New Model Army

Water

You win the arguments you have

You want so badly to be right

But they just drift away

And you're left there with nothing in your hands

While we tumble from the mountains where we were born,

Born of sky and mountains, we tumble from the rocks

Shifting coloured patterns in the brightness of the day

We're only made of water

The full moon gets us high

We can change our shape into anything as often as we like

All our lives are liquid, there's nothing that is stone

The angles wash to curves

And in the end we soak into the hollows of the earth

And home we carry with us, just a sense of where we've

been

As we flow into one another

I've found you and lost you and found you so many, many

times

We're only made of water

The full moon gets us high

We can change our shape into anything as often as we like

And mischief and meaning and tricks of the mind

The spray and the mist and the falling of time

We're only made of water

The full moon gets us high

We can change our shape into anything as often as we like
