Daniel Amos Waking Up Under Water lyrics

I closed my eyes and I ran like the wind
I had all my hair and perfect skin
I had the world on a string and what I hoped would be
A happy ending for me, oh no

I closed my eyes and I fell in love
Her kiss was the one I was dreaming of
I needed a check, it was in the mail
Is that the end of this tale?, oh no

Waking up under water, waking up under water
Waking up
Waking up under water, waking up under water
Waking up

I close my eyes and she's there for me
Our lucky number wins the lottery

I finish my book, turn in my masterpiece
Will wonders never cease?, oh no

Chorus
A cruel sea is leaking in
This fragile boat I'm sinking in
I need to dream again

I close my eyes and I close the deal
The world quakes when my power's revealed
Whenever I prayed the answer was “Yes!”
I never tasted death, oh no.

Chorus (3X)
