Sweetwater Official Lyrics
Ahh, ah…
I am bursting out
Of ancient clouds
To the watershed
Overflowing now
From glacial clouds
To the oceans of your bed
We are floating out...
Salt water lakes
Like waves, like waves
Our bodies break
Like waves, like waves
Our bodies break
And we rise together
Fall together
Sweetwater flowing
As we move together
And we rise together
Fall together
Sweetwater flowing
As we move
Ooo…
Flash floods rise
From river skies
To the watershed baby, the watershed
Spring dreams
And rushing streams
To the oceans of your bed
The high water marks
Our tides do make
Like waves, (waves) like waves (waves)
Our bodies break
Like waves, (waves) like waves (waves)
Our bodies break
And we rise together
Fall together
Sweetwater flowing
As we move together
And we rise together
Fall together
Sweetwater flowing
As we move
Make new ceremonies
On the shores of the sea
Wash it down, wash it down
Where wounds used to be
And we rise together
(Ooo, rise together)
And fall together (fall together)
Sweetwater flowing
As we move together
And we rise together
And we fall together
Sweetwater flowing as we move
Sweetwater flowing
As we move
Ooo...
