In the Rapids

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Moving down the water John is drifting out of sight It's only at the turning point That you find out how you fight In the cold, feel the cold All around And the rush of crashing water Surrounds me with its sound [Verse 2] Striking out to reach you I can't get through to the other side When you're racing in the rapids There's only one way, that's to ride Taken down, taken down By the undertow I'm spiralled down the river bed My fire is burning low [Verse 3] Catching hold of a rock that's firm I'm waiting for John to be carried past We hold together, hold together And shoot the rapids fast And when the waters slow down The dark and the deep Have no-one, no-one, no-one, no-one No-one left to keep Hang on John We're out of this at last Something's changed, that's not your face It's mine, it's mine!
