Kate Reid Close to the Water lyrics

We set sail on the open sea
And all those horror stories you told me
That happened to you when you were small
Somehow you kept on rowing through it all

Chorus:
And it's good to be close to the water sometimes
It's good to cry so don't dry your eyes
And it's good to be close to the water sometimes
Oh water, it moves you by

I'm sorry she didn't love you the way she ought to
I'm sorry he wasn't the one you thought he was
I'm sorry those people came and took you away
But maybe, it was better that way

Chorus:
And it's good to be close to the water sometimes
It's good to cry so don't dry your eyes

And it's good to be close to the water sometimes
Oh water, it moves you by

Chorus Break

Bridge:
I need to say how resilient you are
That you came back from all those childhood wars
And I can see those little sparks in your eyes
And I'm truly glad that you're alive

Chorus:
And it's good to be close to the water sometimes
It's good to cry so don't dry your eyes
And it's good to be close to the water sometimes
Oh water, it moves you by
