water's rising higher in the night
soon you and i shall die
we've never had a place to hide
so why should we mourn it
endless days are on my mind
the time that we saved was spent wilting on the vine
i remember you in a summer dress
walking in the waves at the water's edge
i took your hand we started to dance
and i fell into a trance
you're all that's good and kind to a man
something wild i could never understand
but all we've ever had's a day that's going to end
so let's keep living in the ending
endless days are on my mind
the time that we saved was spent wilting on the vine
