Lyrics:
You saw the clothes and instinctively called for me
You said it was far too cold to swim and he was too far out at sea
But I had the hands of a clock beating me
There was no time to deflate my evening with heroics like these
I don't know what came over me my friend
I know I said, 'he's not drowning but waving', but you would not relent
I know my hands are shaking but it's not cowardice again
That stopped me from jumping in
We're stood with water only up to our shins
There is a storm blowing in
Do I have to shoulder this one?
If you wade in, then I'll wade in,
Will I be blamed for this one?
A freezing mist comes rolling in,
I will be blamed for this one
I saw him first, beaten and broken by waves
Straight away, I knew you'd try and convince that he could be saved
So much to prove, you looked a state,
It's not my fault that you listened to me
When I told you that it was already too late
Afraid you'll turn on me and I'll go down for this
We're both to blame, you know it well
We'll have to shoulder this one
I wont tell, if you wont tell
We'll have to live with this one
A freezing mist comes rolling in
I will be blamed for this one

Laura Gray absolutely agree with you. wish i was there in 2012
I really loved the story that was told in the video and the music. Especally the way that the man recreated the circumstances of the drowning to see how long the waving man really could have lived for. Maybe this was to see if he really could have helped him? Or if it really was too late? Such a great song of guilt and other setiments.
These guys are the VERY best. Amazing debut album.
incredible song, incredible band found this band tonight from Lewis Watson, so glad i did
Canzone meravigliosa come anche l'intero album.. una bella scoperta davvero!
I studied the poem "not waving but drowning and this is a beautiful adaptation of it
