lyrics

Go to the water, walk down slow
Where the rock is battered and the branch hangs low
Where the sea is rough and the sun burns hotter
To know love, go to the water

You walked through the garden in the early spring
Where the wild blossom was a growing thing
You pressed that flower in your favorite book
It kept its color, but never bore fruit

Go to the water, walk down slow
Where the rock is battered and the branch hangs low
Where the sea is rough and the sun burns hotter
To know love, go to the water

Nothing so smooth as the side of a thorn
Nothing so calm as the eye of a storm
To young love, nothing so sweet
As the sound of a promise no-one could keep

Go to the water, walk down slow
Where the rock is battered and the branch hangs low
Where the sea is rough and the sun burns hotter
To know love, go to the water

It laughs and shouts where it touches land
And it holds the world like a loving hand
It’s a bed of pearls on a moonlit night
Full of life, no end in sight

Go to the water, walk down slow
Where the rock is battered and the branch hangs low
Where the sea is rough, and the sun burns hotter
To know love, go to the water
