Undertow

I was wading in the undertow
Set adrift with feather-weight-like bones
Unaware of where my heart would flow
I was wading in the undertow

Can’t touch the bottom
Set into a tumble
Waves that shake me out of my skin

Never been so easy
Losing my direction
My bearings have me south of home
But I’ve been wrong before

I was wading in the undertow
Set adrift with feather-weight-like bones
Unaware of where my heart would flow
I was wading in the undertow

And the water feels like a friend I’ve not seen in years
So familiar and strange at once
Like a lover who lost her touch

At first I was hesitant
now it seems oh so curious
How’d I wind up so far from home
When I barely had left the shore

I was wading in the undertow
Set adrift with feather-weight-like bones
Unaware of where my heart would flow
I was wading in the undertow

And I was dreaming of a love I lost
I feel asleep within an autumn flow
Never knew I’d drift so far from home

While I was wading in the undertow, undertow
