Water's Edge Lyrics - Shine - Cyndi Lauper

I went to the water's edge 

Forgot I couldn't swim 

I went to the water's edge 

All ready to jump in 

I saw the water shimmer 

I heard the wind howl 

I saw my own reflection 

I just can't see it now 

You say it's the way of the world 

To somehow co-exist 

That eventually life unfurls 

A path to happiness 

So I whisper your little secret 

And repeat it under my breath 

I'll save it for you in my heart 

In case we both forget 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 

I am gripped by a loneliness 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 

I'd be released in your tenderness 

I'd be released in your tenderness 

I went to the water's edge 

And saw my life eclipse 

I went to the water's edge 

And then felt myself slip 

I dreamed that I was floating 

Just coast until I grew fins 

I want to catch this tide back home 

And feel you again 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 

I am gripped by a loneliness 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 

I'd be released in your tenderness 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 

I am gripped by a loneliness 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 

I'd be released in your tenderness 

I'd be released in your tenderness 

I'd be released in your tenderness
