Beneath The Waves

Here in the same boat With danger from the falling sails Trying to keep ourselves afloat By laughing at the howling gales Standing in the same shoes Frightened by the same fears How much more are you going to lose? How much pain for how many tears? Fifty years before the mast How long will it last Before sinking Beneath the waves Beneath the waves Sharing the same space Breathing in the same air Thinking all the same thoughts How to help and why to care Living in the same world A world that's full of love and lies A world that really doesn't care If we live or if we die Fifty years before the mast How long will it last Before sinking Beneath the waves Beneath the waves Beneath the waves Rolling over [?] the weight of the water in my ears Holding my breath, it's causing me pain for so many years So many years Beneath the waves Beneath the waves Beneath the waves --- Beneath The Waves - Graham Nash
