Song language: English
Go Down to the Water |
| Go down to the water where the oil floats by |
| Drop your hair down and cry |
| And write with your finger in the sand |
| Mail it out with the tide |
| Mail it out with the high and the low |
| Watch the marks in the sand |
| Listen to the fog on the homeless waves |
| And feel the salt sea in your hands |
| Smell that sea wind, taste on your lips |
| That foam that rolls over my lost ships |
| Write your letter once more in the sand |
| Where the breaker dips and our undertow slips |
| Kneel down and feel the water’s edge |
| Write our names side by side |
| And look and listen to all those ships |
| That toss in the fog and in the tides |
| Let down your hair when you kneel down there |
| Let me be the wind that pulls your hair |
| And you be the man you made out of sand |
| And let your hands keep making him there |
| When nobody is looking kiss your hand |
| And touch to the nose of your man in the sand |
| Then lay down with your head on his chest |
| Be nice, be nice to your man on the sand |
