Water Song Lyrics - Going Somewhere - Colin Hay

this boy and girl were lovers 

came from different towns 

now they both live in the same one 

see each other round 

he saw her at the rose bowl 

just the other day 

she showed him what she bought there 

and they struggled for what to say 

they say we're made mostly of water 

so how come we can't find the sea? 

they say true love creeps up on you slowly 

oh how blind some people can be 

this boy and girl had troubles 

lasted fifteen rounds 

both threw in the towel 

no one took the crown 

and time it tends to pass us 

as we look the other way 

now he sells insurance 

and she's in a non-union play 

oh how i wish we were like water 

we'd float on down into the sea 

if you find true love at your door knocking 

invite her in make her some tea 

this boy and girl were lovers 

came from different towns 

now they both live in the same one 

see each other round 

they say we're made mostly of water 

so how come we can't find the sea? 

they say true love creeps up on you slowly 

oh how blind some people can be
