  • When I'm on a boat
    I float, I know I can never drown
    I see underwater land
    The wind, the wind is the only sound

    Take your hand and I go under
    I'm under and above
    Take your hand and I go under
    I'm under and above

    On the river
    I'm floating in
    On the water
    I'm diving into the ocean
    A thousand black water lilies

    In the river
    I'm floating in
    On the water
    I'm diving into the ocean
    A thousand black water lilies

    Black water lilies

    Arms are reaching for
    My arms, I can see no more
    We dance as we float around
    We head towards the ocean floor

    Take your hand and I go under
    I'm under and above
    Take your hand and I go under
    I'm under and above

    On the river
    I'm floating in
    On the water
    I'm diving into the ocean
    A thousand black water lilies

    In the river
    I'm floating in
    On the water
    I'm diving into the ocean
    A thousand black water lilies
    (A thousand black water lilies)

    I am warm
    Falling down
    I am reborn, oh

    Water lilies
    Water lilies
    Water lilies
