Take Me to the Waterline Songtext
von John Wetton

I can see it in your eyes
Now I feel no uncertainty
Let me breathe in all your light
And stay with me, set a blaze tonight

We got nothing left to lose
Shoot the breeze and lose your shoes
Then dare to look me in the eye
Face to face, tell me there′s no lie

So have I found heaven on earth
This poor soul in torment but
Give me a moment that's frozen alone for all time
Won′t you


Take me down to the waterline
I've got so much love and so little time, won't you
Take me down to the waterline
Won′t you take me down

I′ve been holding on so long
For the simple sight of the only one
No conscience and not one regret
That every step led me to this place

Right here and right now
It's a long, long way home anyhow
And every star up in the sky
Says a feeling that strong belongs to you and I

So have I found heaven on earth
This poor soul in torment but
Give me a moment that′s frozen alone for all time
Won't you


Lift me up to the waterline
I′ve got so much love and so little time, won't you
Come on lift me up at the waterline
When you take me down
