[Chorus]
I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water where the wild winds blow

[Verse 1]
We slid in silence through the dockyard
Rusted cranes against the sky
Oil-fed rainbow on the water
Harbour walls so black and high

[Verse 2]
In the bar we told our stories
Played our tunes on and on
Till a wide-eyed girl stood up amongst us
Held me silent with her song

[Chorus]
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
Take you with me over the water
Over the water where the wild winds blow

[Verse 3]
We took the air and walked together
Careless whispers, stupid games
Harbour lights across the water
We went dancing in the rain
[Chorus]
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
Take you with me over the water
Over the water where the wild winds blow

[Verse 4]
The spirit of a troubled life
Is all I have to give to you
The simple curse of a wayward life
Is all that I can bring to you

[Chorus]
But I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
Take you with me over the water
Over the water where the wild winds blow
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
Take you with me over the water
Over the water where the wild winds blow

[Outro]
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
(Take you with me over the water)
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
(Take you with me over the water)
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
(Take you with me over the water)
And I'll take you with me over the water
Over the water when I go
Take you with me over the water
Take you with me over the water
Take you with me over the water
