ABOVE WILD WATER (Ian M. Bruce/Charlie Milne)

CHORUS
Up above wild water
Up above the raging sea.
Great white horses flounder down below me.
Upstanding on this rock I'd rather be.

One single step, toes teeter on the edge.
I'm feeling not so steady now up here upon this ledge.
I know I'm only human.
I know that I can't fly
But something deep inside keeps tempting me to try.

CHORUS

St. Mary's Island, Cara casts a warning to the sea.
Lizzard stands so lonely where a ship should never be.
Summoned by the sirens and drawn towards the damned.
Please be my saving Grace;
Help keep me where I am.

CHORUS

Up here on this compromise where we have stood for years.
Sharing love and laughter and talking through our fears.
Tested by temptation time and time again.
Time and time and time and time
And time and time again.

MIDDLE
And if like "Darling Clementine" I fall into the foam.
Throw a line, in good time,
Take me home.

Don't yield to temptation. You know it is a sin.
Each vict'ry truly helps you others to win.
Fight boldly onward.
Dark passion subdue.
Don't disregard the dangers.
Let love see you through.
