Toe in the Water

from Book of Man by Rob Marr

/

lyrics

Afloat in a sea of green hope we are happy alone
With teacups and rollups and heat from the gas-burning stove
Afloat in a sea of green hope we are happy alone
So come for a walk with me, come to the place we know

Come on dip your toes in the water and
Skinny-dive in
To my blurry world of elastic and skin
We’ve been tried, and survived
Made something of nothing
Dip your toes in the water
Dive in!

Now we have withstood one or two of the heavier blows
While others better looking, better suited, more able were thrown
And if I should have untied you, I couldn’t, I would not let you go
Because this history means too much to me
Yes it means too much to me

You know what it’s like
Yes you know what it’s like
Oh you know what it’s like

Come on dip your toes in the water and
Skinny-dive in
To my blurry world of elastic and skin
We’ve been tried and survived
Made something of nothing
Found a place to let these noisy heads begin to unwind
A place to rest these noisy heads in peace
