Lyrics: Jean Paul "Bluey" Maunick
Music: Graham Donald Harvey
Here i sit and watch the crowds go by
Papa da papa papa yeah
But there's only one face i can see
If only they would understand
Papa da papa papa yeah
I'd open the door and let him in
How long can i hide,
what i'm feeling inside
My love is a river,
that's got to make its way into sea
This feeling can't hide,
lord knows i've tried
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
I try, though i know i'm hanging on a string
Papa da papa papa yeah
You're the only one thing on my mind
Keeps floating to a distant shore
Papa da papa papa yeah
As i go on denying myself
How long can i hide,
what i'm feeling inside
My love is a river,
that's got to make its way into sea
This feeling can't hide,
lord knows i've tried
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
Oh, keeps turning round in my mind
Oh, round and round in my mind
Here i sit and watch the crowds go by
Papa da papa papa yeah
But there's only one face i can see
How long can i hide,
what i'm feeling inside
My love is a river,
that's got to make its way into sea
This feeling can't hide,
lord knows i've tried
How long can i hide,
what i'm feeling inside
My love is a river,
that's got to make its way into sea
This feeling can't hide,
lord knows i've tried
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
This feeling can't hide,
This feeling can't hide,
lord knows i've tried
