I went down, down to the water’s edge
Watched the tides for a long, long time
Thought how easy it would be
To just let the water carry me
These are the times that try my soul
Though there are wonders for me to behold
Lost my way so many years ago
Now the blight of loneliness leaves me cold
River to the sea carry me, carry me
Along a path unknown to thee
Gentle rain falling on the rushing sea
Like my life full of choices, full of doubt
My eyes are open but stll I cannot see
For my heart is cold since you left me
Like the sea tides, life comes and goes
Leaving remnants of all that it beholds
I went down to the water’s edge
Watched the tides for a long, long time
Thought how easy it would be
To just let the water carry me
Carry me Ole Man Sea, carry me
Carry me home across the sea
Carry me to the place where I want to be
Carry me, carry me, carry me
