On a crowded beach in a distant time
At the
height of summer see a boy of five
At the
water's edge so nimble and free
Jumping over
the ripples looking way out to sea 

Now a
man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes
the young boy's hand and his hand is
strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the
child feels brave
As he's carried in those
arems up and over the waves 

Deeper water,
deeper water, deeper water, calling him on


Let's move forward now and the child's
seventeen
With a girl in the back seat tugging
at his jeans
And she knows what she wants, she
guides with her hand
As a voice cries inside
him - I'm a man, I'm a man! 

Deeper water,
deeper water, deeper water, calling him on


Now the man meets a woman unlike all the
rest
He doesn't know it yet but he's out of
his depth
And he thinks he can run, it's
amatter of pride
But he keeps coming back like
a cork on the tide 

Well the years hurry by
and the woman loves the man
Then one night in
the dark she grabs hold of his hand
Says
'There, can you feel it kicking inside!'
And
the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine


Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water,
calling him on 

So the clock moves around
and the child is a joy
But Death doesn't care
just who it destroys
Now the woamn gets sick,
thins down to the bone
She says 'Where I'm
going next, I'm going alone' 

Deeper
water, deeper water 

On a distant beach
lonely and wild
At a later time see a man and
a child
And the man takes the child up into
his arms
Takes her over the breakers
To
where the water is calm 

Deeper water,
deeper water,
Deeper water, calling them on
