[Verse]
             
On a crowded b

             
each in a dist

         
ant time
             
At the height 

              
of summer see 

           
a boy of five
             
At the water's

             
 edge so nimbl

          
e and free
             
Jumping over t

              
he ripples loo

             
king way out t

      
o sea



Now a man comes up from amoungst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arems up and over the waves

[Chorus]
            
Deeper water, 

      
 
            
deeper water,

    
            
deeper water, 

    
            
calling him on

    

(same chord progression, but now its powerchords.)

[Verse]
             
Let's move for

             
ward now and t

              
he child's sev

     
enteen
             
With a girl in

             
 the back seat

              
 tugging at hi

       
s jeans
             
And she knows 

              
what she wants

             
, she guides w

            
ith her hand
             
As a voice cri

             
es inside him 

              
- I'm a man, I

       
'm a man!

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on

[Chorus]
            
Deeper water, 

      
 
            
deeper water,

    
            
deeper water, 

    
            
calling him on

    

[Verse]
             
Now the man me

             
ets a woman un

              
like all the r

      
est
             
He doesn't kno

              
w it yet but h

             
e's out of his

      
 depth
             
And he thinks 

             
he can run, it

              
's amatter of 

     
pride
             
But he keeps c

             
oming back lik

              
e a cork on th

      
e tide

             
Well the years

              
 hurry by and 

             
the woman love

       
s the man
             
Then one night

              
 in the dark s

             
he grabs hold 

         
of his hand
             
Says 'There, c

              
an you feel it

             
 kicking insid

   
e!'
             
And the man ge

             
ts a shiver ri

              
ght up and dow

      
n his spine

[Chorus]
            
Deeper water, 

      
 
            
deeper water,

    
            
deeper water, 

    
            
calling him on

    

[Verse]
(back to regular chords for this verse)
             
So the clock m

             
oves around an

              
d the child is

     
 a joy
             
But Death does

             
n't care just 

              
who it destroy

    
s
             
Now the woamn 

             
gets sick, thi

              
ns down to the

    
 bone
             
She says 'Wher

             
e I'm going ne

              
xt, I'm going 

   
alone'

[Chorus]
            
Deeper water, 

      
 
            
deeper water,

    
            
deeper water, 

    
            
calling him on

    
             
On a distant b

             
each lonely an

        
d wild
             
At a later tim

             
e see a man an

       
d a child
             
And the man ta

             
kes the child 

           
up into his ar

ms
             
Takes her over

                 
 the breakers
             
To where the w

                
ater is calm

            
Deeper water, 

      
 
            
deeper water,

    
            
deeper water, 

    
            
calling him on
