sooner die than admit defeat
as the waves they do crash around
the water's edge is cold but sweet

and light'ning blinks upon my soul
i shudder from the thunder sound
sooner die than admit defeat

wind and water's turbulent roll
like a spool that's become unwound
the water's edge is cold but sweet

grit my teeth to regain control
and reclaim all the losses found
sooner die than admit defeat

and ancient words upon a scroll
cling hard to as i grip the ground
the water's edge is cold but sweet

on choppy waters cold feet stroll
and letting go means passion bound
sooner die than admit defeat
the water's edge is cold but sweet
