City papers blow around me As the mornin' hits the sky On the ocean ships are waitin' high So am I City sweeper goes around me He don't need no reason why If I don't seem in a hurry now I've arrived Come on baby won't you save me Turn this water into wine Love, emotion, like an ocean How can I hold back the tide Baby meet me on the corner When you hear that whistle blow If I don't seem like I oughta The one you used to know Come on baby won't you save me Turn this water into wine Love, emotion, like an ocean How can I hold back the tide I'm on high ground Put this weight down Of one thing you can be sure On the ocean ships are sailin' But I don't need them anymore Come on baby won't you save me Turn this water into wine Love, emotion, like an ocean How can I hold back the tide Come on baby won't you save me Turn this water into wine Love, emotion, like an ocean Turn this water into wine
