Out on the Water Lyrics

Thrust out from the pier, bow rises to a peak

Two stroke mix in the motor, you can test it in the reek

Salt on my lips, my heart is beating fast

White knuckles on the gunnel, no future here no past

We're out on the water, out on the water

No brothers no sisters, no sons or daughters

Out on the water

Tide up in a rip tide, motor pushed against her will

Fighting with the moon and shore

On the land they are standing still

We're out on the water, out on the water

No brothers no sisters, no sons or daughters

Out on the water

I grew up when danger felt safe, sticks and stones and water and fire

My hands would heal, our minds could grow now they lurk in the dark

Mysteries lie beneath us, the risks are there to take

Cliffs condemn the undertakers, as we dance among their wake

We're out on the water, out on the water

No brothers no sisters, no sons or daughters

Out on the water
