Intro 
C  	 D  G 
C 	 D  G

 	 C 	  	 D 	 G
On a crowded beach, in a distant time

 	 C 	  	        D     G
At the height of summer, see a boy of 5

 	 C 	  	 D 	   G
At the waters edge, so nimble and free

   	 C 	  	  	 D 	    G
Jumpin over the ripples, lookin way out to sea

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

Chorus

C D G Deeper Water C D G Deeper Water C D G Deeper Water C D G Its Callin me on... (Switch from Acoustic to Electric) C D G (x4) 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! 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 a matter 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 Chorus So the clock moves around and the child is a joy But death doesn't care just who it destroys Now the woman gets sick thins down to the bone She says where I'm going next I'm going alone 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
