We can see so far across the sky
We can see so far here across the water
We can see the tops of the trees
I’m holding my arms out steadily
I’m keeping my fist secure
To keep me from sinking
To keep me from falling to sleep without even a wonder
In this evening just fading away
If the water comes up to our necks
And it’s easier just to give in
I will remember what I learned before the flooding came
I will remember who I was before the walls gave way
