Ooh, it doesn't matter which way I turn, I get turned away,
No, it doesn't matter how long I wait or how hard I pray,
Ooh, every time I try to leave, I get left behind,
I'm about to lose control and I'm about to lose my mind,
If I don't run to the water, run to the sea,
Let it carry me homeward,
Run to the water.
Ooh, I wish I were a blind man, then I wouldn't have to see the way things really are, the true reality,
Ooh, wish I were a child again, then I wouldn't have to know,
The hands that we hold on to, sometimes they let go.
I'm gonna run to the water, run to the sea,
Let it carry me homeward,
Run.
Run to the water, run to the sea,
Carry me homeward,
Run to the water, (run to the water)
Run to the sea, (run to the sea)
Carry me homeward,
Run.
