You see, i'm all grown-up now
he said
"just put your feet down child
'coz you're all grown-up now."
just like a photograph i pick you up
just like a station on the radio
i pick you up
just like a face in the crowd
i pick you up
just like a feeling that you're sending out
i pick it up
but i can't let you go
if i let you go
you slip into the fog . . . . . . .
This love was big enough for the both of us.
this love of yours,
was big enough to be frightened of
it's deep and dark like the water was
the day i learned to swim.
he said "just put your feet down child
just put your feet down child
the water is only waist high
i'll let go of you gently
then you can swim to me."
Is this love big enough to watch over me
big enough to let go of me?
without hurting me
like the day i learned to swim.
"'coz you're all grown-up now
just put your feet down child
the water is only waist high.
i'll let go of you gently
then you can swim to me."
