IN THE WATER I AM BEAUTIFUL*

An end to loneliness
A wish too great I guess
We’ll never last out here
The western sky rains fear
We slip away in bliss
They cannot dwell on what they miss

In the water I am beautiful
In the water I am beautiful

No sense to fortune’s wheel
Who was it made that deal
To face the bayonets
Would wipe out all regrets
So easy to forget
Safe distance from where they connect

In the water I am beautiful
In the water I am beautiful
