| What awaits us around the corner
|
| What lies there that we can’t see
|
| Is there someone with the answer waiting patiently for me?
|
| Somebody who can see it all
|
| And know exactly what it’s worth
|
| Is it just the way they tell it?
|
| Or has it all been just a bluff?
|
| High time and high water
|
| Rising way above my head
|
| High time and high water
|
| Drowing out
|
| Just drowing out the words I said
|
| Like kings and princes in their steeple
|
| It all looks good from where they stayed
|
| While down below their hungry people
|
| Try to scrape a living from the land
|
| High time and high water
|
| Rising way above my head
|
| High time and high water
|
| Drowing out
|
| Just drowing out the words I said
|
| Clowns and jesters entertaining
|
| Choking tears behind a smile
|
| Like some instrument of pleasure
|
| Are cast aside after a while
|
| High time and high water
|
| Rising way above my head
|
| High time and high water
|
| Drowing out
|
| Just drowing out the words I said |
