Timedivers - Shallow Water lyrics

rate me

Man lies dead by the side of the road, <br />

Roadkill flat, still and cold,<br />

Hunters’ moon glowing in the skies,<br />

4 short hours before sunrise.<br />

<br />

Life’s not great and life’s not long,<br />

Cold highway stretch on and on,<br />

One mistake is all it takes<br />

Some guys never hit the brakes.<br />

<br />

<br />

Should’ve followed another path, should’ve stayed for another laugh and cry<br />

Chased by another dream – caught in a different beam<br />

<br />

<br />

Drowning in shallow water, shining like a mirror and a spoon,<br />

At the dark side of the bay, sitting on the dockside of the moon.<br />

<br />

<br />

Dead man sits at the edge of the sea,<br />

Harbours sharp deep memories,<br />

One small step is all it takes,<br />

Some guys never get the breaks.<br />

<br />

Pale light burns through the breath below,<br />

Whalers’ moon reflects the soul,<br />

Sea lies still and the harbour’s wide<br />

Calling, calling, “come inside”.<br />

<br />

<br />

Should’ve followed another path, should’ve stayed for another laugh and cry<br />

Chased by another dream – caught in a different beam<br />

<br />

<br />

Drowning in shallow water, shining like a mirror and a spoon,<br />

At the dark side of the bay, sitting on the dockside of the moon.
