High Water Lyrics
When the waters rose in the darkness
In the wake of the endless flood
It flowed into our memory -- it flowed into our blood
When something broke the surface
Just to see the starry dome --
We still feel that relation
When the water takes us home
In the flying spray of the ocean
The water takes you home --
Springing from the weight of the mountains
Like the heart of the earth would burst
Flowing out from marble fountains
In the dreams of a desert thirst
Something swam through the jungles
Where the mighty rivers roam --
Something breaks the silence
When the water takes you home
I hear the wordless voices
When the water takes me home --
Waves that crash on the shoreline
Torrents of tropical rain streaming down
Beyond our memory
Streaming down inside our veins
When something left the ocean
To crawl high above the foam --
We still feel that elation
When the water takes us home
In a driving rain of redemption
The water takes me home...
In the wake of the endless flood
It flowed into our memory -- it flowed into our blood
Just to see the starry dome --
We still feel that relation
When the water takes us home
In the flying spray of the ocean
The water takes you home --
Like the heart of the earth would burst
Flowing out from marble fountains
In the dreams of a desert thirst
Where the mighty rivers roam --
Something breaks the silence
When the water takes you home
I hear the wordless voices
When the water takes me home --
Torrents of tropical rain streaming down
Beyond our memory
Streaming down inside our veins
To crawl high above the foam --
We still feel that elation
When the water takes us home
In a driving rain of redemption
The water takes me home...

Also, it makes it clear that human life started in the water, and that even though we evolved and "broke the surface," we still are connected to the water in a primitive way.
A brilliant album closer.
About the magesty of water. Should be the theme song for Green Peace or the Surfriders Foundation.
My favorite song off of Hold Your Fire.
Yes. Not the band just, yes.
Outstanding guitar performance. No need for ultra shredding or flashy licks, just the right arpeggios, tacets and power chords on the right place. And a ethereal guitar solo according to the cryptic lyrics
The smell of a rainstorm with the water vaporizing over the hot road like steam with the scent of honeysuckle in front of my grandmother's porch takes me home. Ahhhh Rush!
