water's rising higher in the night

soon you and i shall die

we've never had a place to hide

so why should we mourn it

endless days are on my mind

the time that we saved was spent wilting on the vine

i remember you in a summer dress

walking in the waves at the water's edge

i took your hand we started to dance

and i fell into a trance

you're all that's good and kind to a man

something wild i could never understand

but all we've ever had's a day that's going to end

so let's keep living in the ending

endless days are on my mind

the time that we saved was spent wilting on the vine
