Same deep water as you

I have always loved this song. While a freshman at Messiah College, I took a class that was Bible of Literature.  I think this class totally made me see the Bible as beautiful poetry... I thought this song was a reincarnation of sorts of Psalm 69.

deep water

kiss me goodbye
pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try
swimming the same deep water as you is hard
the shallow drowned
lose less than we
the strangest twist upon your lips
and we shall be together


kiss me goodbye
bow your head and join with me
and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips
and disappear the ripples clear
and laughing break against your feet
and laughing break the mirror sweet
so we shall be together

so we shall be together

kiss me goodbye
pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now
the strangest twist upon your lips
but i don't see
and i don't feel
but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes
and in my eyes your smile
the very last thing before i go
i will kiss you
i will kiss you forever on nights like this
i will kiss you
and we shall be together
