lyrics

SHALLOW END

With the wind full in your sails
Ground steady 'neath your feet
Be sure to offer out your hand
Raise the glass in peace

Because you may one day be the one
Begging pennies for a jar
The distance to the shallow end
Will seem so far

In the company of angels
Pray keep your feathers neat
Never hold the reins too tight
Learn to turn the other cheek

Because you may one day find your angel
In someone else's arms
The distance to the shallow end
Will seem so far

If you should have the fortune
Of one true friend to meet
Say all the things you'd dear regret
If you kept them buried deep

Because you may one day find that friend
On a sliding steel drawer
The distance to the shallow end
Will seem so far
The distance to the shallow end
Will seem so far
