Water Lyrics

wait for me underneath the water
wait for me, I have to go now
into the big city
she pulls me firmly towards her

wait for me underneath the water
wait for me, I'll come
you'll be fine underneath the water
I'll be back early next summer

we met again at the lake
after all these years
you said "want a drink?"

I love you, love you
you know I will be back
hold your breath
and nestle into the ice
wait for me underneath the water
wait for me and count to ten
you'll look up and I will be there
wait for me, I'll come

the lake was frozen
you took me for a walk over the ice
I cracked, the ice cracked, I fell into the lake
I watched you through the ice

my love into you
love - I want you
wait for me underneath the water
wait for me and sing along
"she's coming, she's coming, coming!"
wait for me, I'll come

I watched you through the ice
I expected you to crawl for help
you laid down on the ice and you smiled
I tried to kiss you through the ice
i had to say bye, bye, bye, bye

under frozen, over water, under, over
frozen mountain...

wait for me underneath the water

This is a really cool song. This song is about being away from the one you love and promising union.

I love that line-"I tried to kiss through the ice"

Beautiful song.

Very beautiful song with catchy tune in lots of its parts.The lines "and nestle into the ice" and "shes coming,shes coming,coming" make me yell like bjork.The first time I listened to it I thought the rythm is like the old pakistani-indian songs. I think bjork is the one who has always loved the one who goes down the ice crack.He has lost an unfaithful ex on the top of ice and now bjork is talking to him and asking him to wait until she comes underwater,a safe,hidden place for love.Underwater is both where youre hidden and alone and in peace from betrayers and its where you die.I really love this concept.Bjork is talking so eagerly to this guy because she has always thought she will never be with him.He seemed to be so happy with his love;the love that eventually betrayed him.So bjork is going underwater in hope of finding her dream,her love. Well I think its a beautiful idea to go underwater,a lonesom,but safe and hidden place for from everyone else to find your love who has been betrayed.Every time I listen to it,Im left choking and slightly dizzy:"why itsnot me the writer of this song?"
