I'm goin' down to the ocean in the dead of night If I scream who will hear me? Who'll hear this cry? Oh Lord, tell them that you're not far off I will dream of the day we're clothed in white And we'll walk on the water and never die Oh Lord, tell them that it's not far off Good Lord, tell them that it's not far off I believe in the kingdom, kingdom come And I wait in the valley until I turn to dust Good Lord, tonight just seems so long Yeah good Lord, tonight just seems so long Yeah good Lord, tonight just seems so long Yeah good Lord, tonight just seems so long I'm going down to the water Gonna sleep with my maker tonight And if the water don't kill me The water will just turn in to light
