Linda Eder - Across The Water Lyrics
Lyrics: Jack Murphy/Linda EderI started out the way most doRunning on imaginationOut into a world that I was sure I knewAdd a dose of realityAnd a little desperationI became a stranger in a stranger landWherever I go, whatever I seeI still can feel the child carry meHigh on an ocean of innocence'Cause somewhere betweenThe truth and the dreamThere is a moment in timeWhen you can touch what you left behindAcross the waterAcross the waterAcross the waterOn a little higher groundAnd so it goes with everyoneWe're not really all that differentThe older that we getIt seems the less we knowWe mortals all immortalizeAfter we apologize forAll the things we should have saidOr could have doneWherever I go, whatever I seeI still can feel the child carry meHigh on an ocean of innocence'Cause somewhere betweenThe truth and the dreamThere is a moment in timeWhen you can touch what you left behind Across the waterAcross the waterAcross the waterOn a little higher groundThe way we were the dreams we hadDon't ever really dieThey watch us from a distanceAs we wave good-byeBut now and then a backward glanceReminds us that there's still a chanceSo we fill our sails and travel onAcross the waterEvery day in every lifeIs open to interpretationThinkin' about what might have beenIs a waste of timeI don't need to analyzeAll my little contradictionsAs long as I can find my wayBack home againAcross the waterAcross the waterAcross the waterOn a little higher ground
