lyrics

there are shadows in the rising water
of sleeping stepping stones
undinal patience mesmerises
a watcher standing quite alone

wondering where this moment goes
if he braves the current and he trusts his step
or fears for his footing in the watery weft
don’t you want to know
if the other shore is greener than all the places you’ve been shown
or will you abandon all your hope and fall
and go with the flow
go with the flow

there are answers laughing in the swirl
of teasing vortices
dancing past their petulance
turns them just beyond his reach

wondering where this moment goes
if he braves the current and he trusts his step
or fears for his footing in the watery weft
well don’t you want to know
if the other shore is greener than all the places you’ve been shown
or will you abandon all your hope and fall
and go with the flow
go with the flow

the vertigo’s temptation
and the countercurrent’s song
irresistingly engulfing and demanding
that he choose just one

wondering where this moment goes
if he braves the current and he trusts his step
or fears for his footing in the watery weft
don’t you want to know
if the other shore is greener than all the places you’ve been shown
or will you abandon all your hope and fall
and go with the flow
go with the flow

the river is rising higher
over stepping stones beneath
concealed soon but for guessing gyres
and whirlpool’s clues bequeathed

he’s wondering where this moment goes
if he braves the current and he trusts his step
or fears for his footing in the watery weft
well don’t you want to know
if the other shore is greener than all the places you’ve been shown
or will you abandon all your hope and fall
and go with the flow
go with the flow
go with the flow
go with the flow
