With a tiny rope and a bag of stones And all heartbroken wishing bone She's going in, she's going home Oh this little golden eye, fighting heavy day Behind the light, behind the light Walking faster down the street With eyes and no shoes on her feet Going on this journey, determined to complete This is farewell, this is good night The last time she will see the daylight See the daylight And she's going on a journey Always walking down the road And the water is always calling "My little child, please come home" That's when she went away Away from the light of day Standing by the riverside Patiently waiting for the tide To come along, to come along The water's going through her feet And on her body wind so cold and sweet So cold and sweet And she's going on a journey Always walking down the road And the water is always calling "My little child, please come home" And the stars were brightly shining
When she reached out, they were gone And the water started calling "My little child, please come home" Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out Feel the water in her body, water's never going out And she's going on a journey Always walking down the road And the water is always calling "My little child, please come home" And the stars were brightly shining When she reached out, they were gone And the water started calling "My little child, please come home" When a shiny light hit her eye And she turned around and climbed towards the sky Towards the sky
