Story Behind The Song

Life's jouney is made analogous to a child floating along in a river. We need to take some risks and not just float away - which is inevitable - so do something.

Song Description

Life foats by and we wonder what is really happening to us? What is reality if nothing other than an ever changing river. John Wannamaker plays some flamenco guitar as the main riff.

Lyrics

Shake and shiver

I'm a child am d
lying in a cool river
where's my future
it just floated by

I'm a boy
learning how to shake and shiver
there goes my life
it just drifted by

I'm a risk
waiting to take some chances
I'm a stone
getting sick of sitting still
I'm a child
lying in a cool river
floating by
everything 's swell

G Am
Life is deep g am
G F am
as deep as the darkest waters g f am
what lurks beneith g am
the depths just waiting to meet you ? g f am

cool waters
surrounding me
finally got away shake and shiver
cool waters
surrounding me
as I sink
cool waters
surrounding me
finally got away

Life is deep g am
as deep as the darkest waters g f am
what lurks beneith
the depths just waiting to meet you ?
