Crazy Water

On a bench, on the beach just before the sun had gone
I tried to reach you, plain faced and falling fast
You looked so vacant like an empty shell
Whose life had passed upon the ocean

Before light shook the sky, down by the docks I saw
The masts unfolding
Don't turn away, please understand, it's a life and a living
And a way to keep the wolves away from hungry hands, from hungry hands

Crazy water takes my fishing boat on Monday morning
Dangerous dreaming
If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing
Oh, we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy water

Tangled lives, lonely wives
Shoreline widows pray for the souls of missing whalers
Endless nights on an endless sea where nothing lives between us
Just the breakers on the ocean
Separating you and me, ooh, separating you and me

Crazy water takes my fishing boat on Monday morning
Dangerous dreaming
If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing
Oh, we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy water

Crazy water takes my fishing boat on Monday morning
Dangerous dreaming
If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing
And we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy water

Crazy water, crazy water
Crazy water, crazy water
Crazy water, crazy water
Crazy water, crazy water

In the crazy, crazy water
In the crazy, crazy, crazy water
Crazy, crazy, crazy water
Crazy, crazy, crazy water
