gordon bok – crossing the water lyrics
i have seen you leave the sh-r- at sunrise
i have felt your oars as they glide
i have poured you honey from the morning sun
heard you call to the other side
i have carried your voice along the wind
i have tumbled it on the tide
i have lifted it as its sound grew dim
and swallowed it as it died
you may row the boat forever
believing you are free
you cannot cross the water
you can only row to me
i have seen you pause at midday
your hands all tired and sore
i have heard you curse yourself for a fool
that you have not progressed more
and i’ve heard you curse the water
for keeping you from the land
even as you reached for me
to cool your weary hand
you may row the boat forever
there is nowhere i won’t be
you cannot cross the water
you can only row to me
i have seen you in the sunset
with a comp-ss in your hand
i have felt you change direction
trying to reach the land
and i’ve seen you looking homeward
ah, but sailor this water is wide
if you knew my voice i would tell you
“lay the oars aside”
for you’ll turn the boat forever
i am neither lake nor sea
you cannot cross the water
you can only row to me
you may row the boat forever
there is nowhere i won’t be
you cannot cross the water
you can only row to me
