Lyrics Deep Water - Marianne Faithfull

Deep Water

I’m walking through deep water
It’s all that I can do
I’m walking through deep water
Trying to get to you
Your face is hidden from me
But your love is not
I will not reach for other things
Till I know what I have got
I’m walking through deep water
Trying to get to you
I’m walking through deep water
I have no time to lose
I’m walking through deep water
There’s nothing left to choose
This little heart of mine
Got loaded up with chains
The world just swirls around me
And the water makes its claim
I’m walking through deep water
Trying to get to you
Who will calm my fears?
Who will drive my tears away?
Who will calm my fears?
Who will drive my tears away?
I’m walking through deep water
Nearer to the sea
I’m asking the deep water
Don’t take my love from me
I’ll dance with little ladies
With a hundred just like me
They hold their breath and hesitate
And dance beneath the sea
I’m walking through deep water
Trying to get to you
