The Waterboys

The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group.

The mountain is steep
 the ditches are deep
The task in hand
 is making us weep
But here's a promise
 (I intend to keep

That I mean to keep)
Seed it in your mind
 and say it each night
Before you sleep:
 we will climb higher in time
(och!)

You've got a head full of trouble
 and a ship to build
(You think you won't make it
 but you know you will
You feel you need your 
 cup refilled
Fill it out of mine
 we'll drop the defenses,
Pool our skill

Your heart you're hiding
 it's making you ill
You feel like you want to have your
 sporran refilled
Well, fill it out of mine
 let the soulful water
Overspill)
 and we will climb higher in time

I've been to the bottom
 I've been on the train
I've slept in the gutter
 with my head in a drain
I've been brutally proud
 I've been mortally shamed
But this is not a crime
 I'm just learning, my friends,
That it's all in the game
 and we will climb higher in time
(Och!)

Climb higher in time
 climb higher in time
