Andy Latham - You Keep the Sharks at Bay Lyrics

When you were young you let the sunlight linger on your tiny fists
You wouldn't know it but you danced away the shackles on your wrists
I have a lens that's lighted by the sparks you throw all through the night
You wouldn't know it but your lightning bolts still light up my spotlight
The rain was beautiful but it washed us away
I will row, row faster; You keep the sharks at bay
The rain was beautiful but it washed us away
I will row, row faster; You keep the sharks at bay
When you were young you lived inside a burning building to keep warm
You wouldn't know it but that's how you learned to breathe a thunderstorm
I had a dream of all the peaceful people sweeping up their teeth
You wouldn't know it but a fire lingered underneath the street
The rain was beautiful but it washed us away
I will row, row faster; You keep the sharks at bay
The rain was beautiful but it washed us away
I will row, row faster; You keep the sharks at bay
