Feist - The Water lyrics

The telegraph cables hum

And few can decipher who the message is from

And it deliver it quietly

'Cause some don't get much company

The harbour becomes the sea

And lighting the house keeps it collision free

Understand the lay of the land

And don't let it hurt you

Or it will be the first to

The water, the water

Didn't realize

Its dangerous size

The mountain, the mountain

Came to recognize

Its steep and rocky sides

More than realized

Pale as a pile of bones

You hope for your babies

And this is how they grow

Wind-battered, knocked over

The teeth by the shoulder

Watching the grey sky

That's acting like a good guy

The water, the water

Came to realize

It's a dangerous size

The mountain, the mountain

Came to recognize

Its steep and rocky sides

Came to recognize

Its steep and rocky sides

More than realized
