Caitlin Cary - Shallow Heart, Shallow Water lyrics

Shallow heart, shallow water Push off the bottom Float to each other Shallow heart, shallow water The years run dry You can swim but she can fly As your ship goes sailing by She'll be floating in the air Will she notice you down there? Empty head, empty bottle Tip it back She won't follow Shallow heart, shallow water The years run dry So learn to swim while you are young Old men can't tread water She'll be floating by one day And you'll be missing each other Let the water wash you clean For the years have left you fearful Two as one can float on air One alone's a sinking vessel Shallow heart, shallow water Earth is dry Grave's are hollow Shallow heart, shallow water The years run dry You can rise to the surface Love can never hurt us You can see the shore from here swim And you rise to the surface Love can never hurt us Trade the water for the air Keep her safe—hold her near Shallow heart, shallow water Push of the bottom, float to each other Shallow heart, shallow water Dive in first, she will follow Shallow heart, shallow water Push off the bottom Float to each other Shallow heart, shallow water Years run dry Years run dry Years run dry
