Across the Water Linda Eder

I started out the way most do
Running on imagination
Out into a world that I was sure I knew
Add a dose of reality
And a little desperation
I became a stranger in a stranger land

Wherever I go, whatever I see
I still can feel the child carry me
High on an ocean of innocence
'Cause somewhere between
The truth and the dream
There is a moment in time
When you can touch what you left behind

Across the water
Across the water
Across the water
On a little higher ground

And so it goes with everyone
We're not really all that different
The older that we get
It seems the less we know
We mortals all immortalize
After we apologize for
All the things we should have said
Or could have done
