So stay unmolested
Stand tall, don't fall to the wayside
Sinking sand, delivery man, policewoman
Government man will listen to your screams

I know a place across the road
Where the soul will listen
Stars are out and stars are bright
And my eyes will glisten

On the water, on the water, on the water
On that water like a trampling rose
Like a trampling rose, like a trampling rose, trampling rose
I'm wrong

It doesn't matter if I'm young or if I'm cold
Stay on the line, never get by
'Cause laziness does not pay
My heart is set on this old winter's day

Son of a gun, you got me stunned
You cut me down, don't bother me
I've never been wrong, never been right
Never belonged, I'm never in sight

On the water, on the water, on the water
On that water like a trampling rose
Like a trampling rose, like a trampling rose, trampling rose

Sun won't lie to you
No, the sun won't lie to you
And if you catch the lying sun
Well, you can knock him down and you can bring him home

I am alone, the sun is going down
Waiting patiently for the waterly crown
I shoot through the 'cause I want to shoot you
Shoot through me, shoot through you
I want to spit in the air, am I there?

On the water, on the water, on the water
On that water like a trampling rose
Like a trampling rose, like a trampling rose, trampling rose
