Waving Not Drowning © 2001, Kate Mesmer & D. A. Shea When I was a child You took me to the sea And warned me not to wander Too far from the beach But I had “heard the mermaids Singing each to each” And when you called me back to shore I was beyond your reach You were so afraid That I'd be lost at sea And drowning not waving So you tried to rescue me I've been out here a lifetime Why don't you understand I'm waving not drowning Come take my hand Chorus: I'm waving not drowning Here beneath the sky You don't need to walk on water Just swim against the tide I'm waving not drowning The mermaids' song is clear But you seem so far away When I look back from here All the time I waited waving from the sea And all the time I waited Hoping you would swim to me Now I know the currents that can pull us apart All I ever wanted was a lifeline to your heart Chorus |
