Deep Water Songtext
von Richard Clapton

We used to go down to the beach at night
Fireflies dancing in the promenade lights
Ah, those rock and roll bands used to really swing
And I′d do the foxtrot with sweet Christine
Speaking to me with her gentle hands
Fly on down to Wonderland

Deep water, I'm caught up in its flow
If I′m in over my head, I'd be the last to know
Deep water
Deep water

They closed down the doors to the Trocadero
And I came back looking just like a ghost
Posters are scattered all over the stairs
Nobody reads them, so nobody cares
The kids all retired when they reached 21
But it really just ain't my idea of fun


Deep water, I′m caught up in its flow
If I′m in over my head, I'd be the last to know
Deep water
Deep water

Sitting out on the Palm Beach Road
I′m so drunk and the car won't go
My crazy eyes keep looking out to sea
The Sunday drivers are cruising ′round
Wish they'd all go back to town
What do they expect to find?
Sure as hell ain′t peace of mind

Deep water, I'm caught up in its flow
If I'm in over my head, I′d be the last to know

Deep water (deep water)
Deep water (deep water)
Deep water
Deep water (you got me)
Deep water (deep water)
Deep water
Deep water (ah, you got me)
Deep water (deep water)


Deep water
Deep water (I can′t hold on)
Deep water (I can't hold on)
Deep water (hold on, hold on, hold on, no)
Deep water (deep water)
Deep water
Deep water (deep water)
Deep water (deep water)
Deep water (ah, you got me)
Deep water (ah, you got me, got me)
