Lead you over to the water,
Said "Hold it down until it does not breathe."
Tried drowning it on dry land for too long,
But it was not supposed to be.
This recklessness might kill you,
But I know you would miss it if it died.
This recklessness is not a curse,
It's just the old convictions runnin' out of time.
Pass me on over,
Let it pass me by.
We'll keep on movin',
Leave this shit behind.
Take all our money,
but ya know we'll never quit.
Pass me on over,
But don't pass,
Me back to this.
Birds on empty watertowers,
Owned it all but did not own a thing.
Prisoners of dry land for to long,
Until only our love remained.
By this river, we laugh loud
And leave for dead what we cannot explain.
Head out to the hiding place,
Covered in the strong arms of the aspen trees.
Pass me on over,
Let it pass me by.
We'll keep on movin',
Leave this shit behind.
Take all our money,
but ya know we'll never quit.
Pass me on over,
But don't pass,
Me back to this.step outside -- take a look at the stars
catch a glimpse of the way things are --
making contact...
smell of sweet fresh oil on skin
when you move on me like the tide coming in --
making contact...
so many ways to understand
one for every woman and man
been that way since the world began
i hear the drumming of the surf and i have to dance
stepping to the rhythm of circumstance --
making contact...
i feel so huge -- i feel so small
i feel so good i want to swallow it all --
making contact...
making contact
swimming in an ocean of love
making contact
swimming in an ocean of love
we move together like the waves
swimming in an ocean of love
every night and every day
swimming in an ocean of love
one world -- one human race
swimming in an ocean of love
one kiss from a smiling face
swimming in an ocean of love
see that sign coming into view
swimming in an ocean of love
mother sea welcomes you
swimming in an ocean of love
making contact...
