In Waterland from In Waterland by Jodi Shaw

Careful caresses you don’t know what they mean
A saint on a mission not all that he seems
Be careful he said, it’s only a dream

All of the lovers have come out to play
Except me on my horse I shoo them away
A fly on the ceiling has come in to lay her eggs

Here in Waterland
You wave to me from the shore
And God only knows what we have to endure
The illness in the cure

Awake like the weavers who spin into gold
A priest in the kitchen saving a soul

I’m tired of growing I’m tired of sleep
I’m tired of reaching I’m tired of sweet
I’m tired of love I’m tired of me

But here in Waterland
Nothing is ever alone
Nothing is new and nothing grows old
Beauty to the bone

Hey dad, aren’t you glad?
You didn’t know I could swim so fast
Watch me dive into the the eye of the storm
Yeah that’s where I was born
In Waterland

Throw them like apples into the sea
A look in that glass so honest and green
A sentient creature is taking my hand

Here in Waterland
You wave to me from the shore
And now I know I understand
There will never be anything more
