Ice has formed and there's snow between the tracks   And I have seen the surface tear and I can't look back   And cool low sun has blinded you for days   From horizon to horizon, can I dream this all away      But over the water, over the water   Over the sea      There's you shining bright in a sea of fools   Oh I can sing you out of this, can shake your mermaid blues   Come with me, for alone I fear the tide   It's calling me and dragging me and I think it's time      But over the water, over the water   Over the sea      Shape your mouth to fit these words of war   I see the arrows falling backwards, burning for a cause   I'll swim with you until my lungs give out   Oh I can raise you from the deep or drown with you in doubt      But over the water, over the water   Over the water with you
