When I was eighteen I wrote a letter to my daughter

I don't know if you'd call that mother's instinct

Or just a teenage kid dreaming someday she could take

A swim in the water

Well I wrote to her about how by life had been

And that I promised I would make it better for her

And for me and for the rest of the family

And I did

I took a swim in the water

And I kept swimming swimming in the water

I kept swimming swimming in the water

I kept swimming swimming in the water

Until I passed the tide

Now my daughter is almost two years old

And the second one is coming soon

I have no idea where the teenage kid is

I know if she could see she would be proud of what we've come to be

But she's gone

She's lost in the water

And we keep swimming swimming in the water

We keep swimming swimming in the water

We keep swimming swimming in the water

Until we pass the tide

Until we reach the other side

Now I know I had to give her up

So I can give you everything I have

Now I know I had to meet you

So I can see everything I am

And everything you are

And everything we'll ever be

Together we'll be

Deep waters sweet daughters

Deep waters sweet daughters

Deep waters

Until we pass the tide

Until we reach the other side
