"Just put your feet down, child
Just put your feet down, child
He said
I pick you up
The day I learned to swim
I pick it up
Big enough to let go of me
I'll let go of you gently
He said
Just like a photograph
Like the day I learned to swim
This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of
'Cause you're all grown up now"
Just like a station on the radio
This love was big enough for the both of us
The water is only waist high
If I let you go
'Cause you're all grown up now
Just put your feet down, child
But I can't let you go
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
The water is only waist high
Then you can swim to me
I'll let go of you gently
"Just put your feet down, child"
You slip into the fog
I pick you up
It's deep and dark, like the water was
I pick you up
Without hurting me
Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Just like a face in the crowd
