From the recording Flicker
Lyrics
Afloat upon the streams of life ‘though we’re not weightless
On the surface tension keeps us dry
Through rapids and eddies swept we held each other’s
Heads above water carried towards the depths
Out to sea
Carried on the flow and in too deep
Cast onto the night tide we’re left breathless
A buoyancy vest is all that binds us to life
We cling to what’s left the wreckage of our dreams
Now submarine its too late for regrets
Out to sea
We’re carried undertow and in too deep
The peaks that carry us high are only passing
Same as the troughs in the pits of the squall
The undulations take us nowhere
That we don’t already know
The rip currents pull us apart beneath the swell
caught in the undertow, trapped in the undertow
But we’ll surface arms entwined
Only the breakers decide as we approach land
Whether we’ll stand a chance to survive
