When the Water Calls (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

Dust on my boots from a long day's run

Salt in the air where the ocean's begun

Grandfather used to sing these same words

Passed down like gold through every single bird

I'm learning his voice when I let it go free

The whole town singing along with me

Pre-Chorus

And the sound keeps rising up out of this place

Is that the tide or my own heartbeat's pace?

Hold on to what we can never hold tight

Let go and let the water carry me through tonight

Chorus

When the water calls, I'll follow it down

Every single wave will pull us into this town

Hands up in the dark where the stars shine so bright

We're riding with the tide through all of these nights

When the water calls, don't ask me to stay

I'll be there waiting by the sea, come what may

Verse 2

Grandmother's stories like a map of the shore

Every single wave is asking for more

The fishermen laugh and dance on their boats at night

We're all just trying to find where the light takes flight

Their voices echo off the rocky wall

I'm learning to sing it all, standing tall

Pre-Chorus

And the sound keeps rising up out of this place

Is that the tide or my own heartbeat's pace?

Hold on to what we can never hold tight

Let go and let the water carry me through tonight

Chorus

When the water calls, I'll follow it down

Every single wave will pull us into this town

Hands up in the dark where the stars shine so bright

We're riding with the tide through all of these nights

When the water calls, don't ask me to stay

I'll be there waiting by the sea, come what may

Bridge

Maybe it's not the ocean calling my name

Maybe I'm just running back home again

But every wave keeps pulling me under

Into a place where nothing can hurt me any more

Where love is deeper than any single tide

That's the only truth I've found inside

Chorus

When the water calls, I'll follow it down

Every single wave will pull us into this town

Hands up in the dark where the stars shine so bright

We're riding with the tide through all of these nights

When the water calls, don't ask me to stay

I'll be there waiting by the sea, come what may
