The Dead Sea

I found a thing just the other day And I needed to throw it away How can I lose this permanently Gonna take it right on down to the Dead Sea Throw it out in the Dead Sea While I'm standing at the Dead Sea, I saw a man looking back at me Could it be the man I was Or the man that I need to be Staring into the Dead Sea Ain't it funny how waves can flow The heavens pull and the high winds blow Then somehow we all wind up here In that place where we face our fear Out on the Dead Sea Don't know how it got this far I was wondering where you are I was hidden in the Garden well Hoping that the saints don't tell on me And now I find me at the Dead Sea Nothing lives in the water here Nothing lives anywhere near So afraid to let it be And I'm hanging on desperately Floating out on the Dead Sea Ain't it funny how waves can flow The heavens pull and the high winds blow Then somehow we all wind up here In that place where we face our fear So afraid of the Dead Sea In a place of helplessness The waters moved in a sweet caress Even though I can't drink this cup Still a hand is holding me up I can't sink in the Dead Sea Ain't it funny how waves can flow The heavens pull and the high winds blow Then somehow we all wind up here In that place where we face our fear And I'm alive on the Dead Sea Swimming in the Dead Sea
