lyrics

Great depth of water
Black under blue skies
Ripples from the wind blow
Like children's distant cries

Boy leans on the fencepost
Linking to forever more
A father's eyes are broken
He's been here before

I tried so hard to hold it
But the flood came on so hard
The wall of water grabbed me
And made me a floating guard

Your childhood still moves me
As I grow old with time
And you remain the young one
Holding stars inside my mind

I called you when I came out
On the steps down in queens park
Our conversation lingers
And the feelings left a mark

I don't know where you are now
I don't know where you'll be
I know from where you came
And the day you walked with me
