From the recording Piper & Carson
Lyrics
Beneath The Waves
I always used to wish
I could live beneath the waves
With a fishtail for a body
And human for my brain
Swimming in those deep blue waters
Brought a certain calm
Ripples through an ocean
Felt nothing could go wrong
And oh as it goes
The story unfolds
And oh you’ll never know
Until we both grow old
You gave me love
You gave me strength
From the impending storm
But the long term damage
Well you did not warn
Some people think
There were telltale signs
That I chose to ignore
The riptide and the undertow
Took me further from the shore
And oh as it goes
The story unfolds
And oh you’ll never know
Until we both grow old
And when it has you in its grip
There’ll be no time to shout
And if you don’t know where you’re going
Well you’ll soon find out
Cause oh as it goes
The story unfolds
And oh you’ll never know
Until we both grow old
And oh as it goes
The story unfolds
And oh you’ll never know
Until we both grow old
