Shallow heart, shallow water   Push off the bottom float to each other   Shallow heart, shallow water   The years run dry      You can swim but she can fly   As your ship goes sailing by   She?ll be floating in the air   Will she notice you down there?      Empty head, empty bottle   Tip it back she won?t follow   Shallow heart, shallow water   The years run dry      So learn to swim while you are young   Old men can?t tread water   She?ll be floating by one day   And you?ll be missing each other      Let the water wash you clean   For the years have left you fearful   Two as one can float on air   One alone is a sinking vessel      Shallow heart, shallow water   Earth is dry grave?s are hollow   Shallow heart, shallow water   The years run dry      You can rise to the surface   Love can never hurt us   You can see the shore from here swim   And you rise to the surface      Love can never hurt us   Trade the water for the air   Keep her safe, hold her near      Shallow heart, shallow water   Push of the bottom, float to each other   Shallow heart, shallow water   Dive in first, she will follow      Shallow heart, shallow water   Push off the bottom, float to each other   Shallow heart, shallow water   Years run dry, years run dry, years run dry
