I stood in the doorway of St. Sabinas Church
You came in from the morning, you didn't see me at first
You took the holy water, crossed and blessed yourself
Your eyes met mine, the saints stopped time
There was incense and bells
It was like dreams of deep water
I held my breath
Dreams of deep water
A little death
The Irish have a saying for almost everything
If you can't talk about it, just close your eyes and sing
So I sang out through the dark clouds to the sun that hung behind
I asked for the moment when you'd be mine
And he said dreams of deep water
So dark and cool
Dreams of deep water, the still and soundless pool
Now daylight is always spread
As darkness draws so near
I could swear I feel your presence
Softly brushing past my ear
It's like dreams of deep water
As I slip in
Dreams of deep water
I swim and swim
Dreams of deep water
Dreams of deep water
