As the days race by
I’ve been wasting time
Trying to fight the wind with my breath
Trying to rescue old life from death
I resisted time and tide
But when something is gone
No good holding on
Trying to net the birds as they fly
Trying to pin the sun in the sky
Done resisting time and tide
So water, carry me
So water, carry me
You’re going where I need to be
So water, carry me
See the autumn day
Beauty of decay
Light the fire, burn the things you don’t need
Start again, destroy them in the name of heat
Done resisting time and tide
So water, carry me
So water, carry me
You’re going where I need to be
So water, carry me
