I fell like a dove into the desert
Barely breathing my tears built (filled) an ocean
I was out on the levee--I was out on the levee
When I lost my self into the water, into the water, into the water

They came at night and said to me
To rest is forbidden
You must move or drown away
I was out on the jetty--I was out on the jetty
When I lost myself into the water, into the water, into the water

I'll be alive--I'll squeeze through the light

I fell like a dove into the desert
Barely breathing my tears filled the ocean
I was out on the levee--I was out on the levee
When I lost my self into the water, into the water, into the water, into the water, into the water, into the water, into the water...
