On a crowded beach in a distant time
– Deeper Water, Paul Kelly
At the height of summer, see a boy of five
At the water’s edge, so nimble and free
Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
Takes the young boy’s hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave
As he’s carried in those arms up and over the waves
