Bernard Butler and Jessie Buckley - Shallow the Water

Shallow this water
All I need is to reach
The wind of these words leave me blind with sleep

Times when I cry feel like a dream
Don't know how to describe what it is or what it means
Kisses from clouds that have burst from within
Breaking the wave, so I can swim

Shallow this water
All I need is to reach
The wind of these words leave me blind with sleep
I don't know where I'm going
Some place I haven't gone
The wind of these words will carry me on

But you didn't know the full of forever
Time and again, you left us untethered
Goin' by the cracks of who we were meant to be
Ode to the river, winds along the stream

Shallow this water
All I need is to reach
The wind of these words leave me blind with sleep
I don't know where I'm going
Some place I haven't gone
The wind of these words will carry me on

Paint a ship
On a painted ocean too
Lighthouse glistens on the dark of the blue
