Barclay James Harvest - Spirit On The Water lyrics

On the water

There's a shadow lying

Down by the shore

Wasn't there a year before?

A sacrifice for the coat

He's wearing

A "paradise" for the lady

Who dares

Colour him red upon the snow?

We carry the burden upon our shoulder

We carry their lives in the palm of our hand

Don't you care about the state you're in

Or don't you understand?

There's a spirit floating

On the water

See the shadow lying

Down by the shore

Wasn't there some years ago??

We carry the burden upon our shoulder

We carry their lives in the palm of our hand

Don't you care about the world your in

Or don't you understand
