Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Cyndi Lauper - Water's edge ------------------------------------------ I went to the waterŽs edge, forgot I couldnŽt swim I went to the waterŽs edge, all ready to jump in I saw the water shimmer I heard the wind howl I saw my own reflection I just canŽt see it now You say itŽs the way of the world To somehow co-exists That eventually life unfurls A path to happiness So I whisper your little secret And repeat it under my breath IŽll save it for you in my heart In case we both forget Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I am gripped by a loneliness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me IŽd be released in your tenderness IŽd be released in your tenderness I went to the waterŽs edge and saw my life eclipse I went to the waterŽs edge and then felt myself slip I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I am gripped by a loneliness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me IŽd be released in your tenderness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me I am gripped by a loneliness Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me IŽd be released in your tenderness IŽd be released in your tenderness IŽd be released in your tenderness
