From the recording Buoyancy
LIVING WITH ORWELL
Living in a society described by Orwell in his book 1984, but finding hope in a song like Lennon’s Imagine.
Lyrics
Water’s Edge
How do you find your way back to yesterday?
I thought I found it once in a song
But the rests tear it all away
Reminds me how it went wrong
Water’s edge tiptoe on the land
3 in the morning slow sinking sand
Satellites watch as I hide in your kiss
But there’s no escape in a life like this
How distant have I become?
I feel so far from my heart
A hurdle of feelings come undone
Burning beautiful for each one
Water’s edge tiptoe on the land
3 in the morning slow sinking sand
Satellites watch as I hide in your kiss
But there’s no escape in a life like this
Now the word is out
All us prisoners are brought-in
But our love won’t waste away
Cause love truly lies within
Water’s edge tiptoe on the land
Water’s edge tiptoe on the land
Water’s edge tiptoe on the land
