Cyndi Lauper - Water's Edge lyrics

I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in I saw the water shimmer I heard the wind howl I saw my own reflection I just can't see it now You say it's the way of the world To somehow co-exist That eventually life unfurls A path to happiness So, I whisper your little secret And repeat it under my breath I'll save it for you in my heart In case we both forget Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I am gripped by a loneliness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I'd be released in your tenderness I'd be released in your tenderness I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I am gripped by a loneliness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I'd be released in your tenderness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I am gripped by a loneliness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I'd be released in your tenderness I'd be released in your tenderness I'd be released in your tenderness
