Morning creeps in and you swear that you loved me once
But your promises break and your words are empty and small
Furious soldier, flash of steel

Scream at your father's ghost
It turns out the one that you broke
Was the one you loved most


Keep your head above water
Leave me out in the cold

Oh your son needs a father
Not a ghost
Above the water, above the water ooh

Above the water, above the water ooh

Morning creeps in and you swear that you love me still

But the dark of the night's in your eyes and your words are cold
And your blood then stains the heels and the unchartered storm
It turns out the one that you broke

Was the one you loved most

[chorus]


Ooh
Ooh

Oh mother
No, it's never enough
So keep your head above water

And leave us to drown in your dust
In your dust


[chorus]
Oh your son needs a father
Not a ghost

Above the water, above the water, above the water
