Undertow

(Colin Hay)

What do you see?
As the waves they rise and fall
You lie next to me
I still see you through it all

We’re swimming underwater
Watch out for the undertow
Being lost to the sea
That’s not for the likes of
You and me

Your dreams are free
Do you hear me when I call?
You can hold onto me
In the stillness of the night

For you’re Menina’s daughter
She watched out for the undertow
You were swimming in brave water
There was a world to know
Had to go

In that house on the hill
It’s said there is a sanctuary
And time has such a will
We can feel it in our bones

We’re breathing underwater
We watch out for the undertow
Being lost to the sea
That’s not for the likes of
You and me
