What awaits us around the corner
What lies there that we can't see
Is there someone with the answer waiting patiently for me?
Somebody who can see it all
And know exactly what it's worth
Is it just the way they tell it?
Or has it all been just a bluff?

High time, high water
Rising way above my head
High time and high water
Drowing out, just drowing out the words I said

Like kings and princes in their steeple
It all looks good from where they stayed
While down below their hungry people
Try to scrape a living from the land

High time, high water
Rising way above my head
High time and high water
Drowing out, just drowing out the words I said

Clowns and jesters entertaining
Choking tears behind a smile
Like some instrument of pleasure
Are cast aside after a while
