Water's Getting Closer (The Ossipee Song)

The water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in We're still sitting 'round the campfire Telling stories with our friends We'll see you this time next year When the summer comes again 'Cause the water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in Long as I remember It's an annual to-do A getaway from the everyday A reset and retool A family reunion Without blood between the two So many friends are popping in The old ones and the new As we've gotten older Much will never be the same But as the trip reminds us Some things will never change Thinking 'bout the beach now within reach And all the songs we sang Toes in the sand, cold beer in hand And a woman to blame The water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in We're still sitting 'round the campfire Telling stories with our friends We'll see you this time next year When the summer comes again 'Cause the water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in Cart up the road, fireworks explode A "fore" heard from the course Moving 'cross the street And later on down by the shore Having fun under the sun Leaving worries at the door The living's free just feel the breeze And come right back for more The water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in We're still sitting 'round the campfire Telling stories with our friends We'll see you this time next year When the summer comes again 'Cause the water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in Life can be like how you dream Just take a break from everything And find a song to sing All together now All together now The water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in We're still sitting 'round the campfire Telling stories with our friends We'll see you this time next year When the summer comes again 'Cause the water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in The water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in We're still sitting 'round the campfire Telling stories with our friends We'll see you this time next year When the summer comes again 'Cause the water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in The water's getting closer But the tide's not coming in
