Lyrics Gruff Rhys – Shark Ridden Waters

I hear your footsteps coming from the end of the lane
A crystal clear shimmering high
The girl whose stomach gurgles with the bright fizzy pop
The woman with the animal cry

I didn’t know you
But you felt like a friend
And now I’d love to
Be a pal to the end

And I don’t know what’s wrong with me but lately
I’ve been feeling like I’m truly hovering in the air
And I don’t know what happens to me when you come along
It’s just the way the sunlight catches your hair

Our friends would go our friends would come for casual fun
That left us occasionally numb
The night intense and colourful with feminine dreams
Perpetual harmless it seemed

I didn’t know you
But you felt like a friend
And now I’d love to
Be a pal to the end

And I don’t know what happens to me when you come along
It’s just the way the sunlight catches your hair
And I don’t know what happens is it me
Or is it voodoo or the way the sunlight catches your hair

Shark Ridden Waters
Shark Ridden Waters
Shark Ridden Waters
No use crying
