Black Water

When I'm on a boat I float, I know I can never drown I see underwater land The wind, the wind is the only sound Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies In the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies Black water lilies Arms are reaching for My arms, I can see no more We dance as we float around We head towards the ocean floor Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies In the river I'm floating in On the water I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies (A thousand black water lilies) I am warm Falling down I am reborn, oh Water lilies Water lilies Water lilies Water lilies

Out into the moonlight I could never fail Down by the turkey creek To find that old trail. The river she's a flowin' I'm rememberin' the night Before I knew she was goin' She was clean outta sight. Chrorus: That muddy water keeps on rollin' Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on From that bayou town my heart was stolen Like the water rollin' out with the tide She was here and gone. --- Instrumental --- There ain't no magic in the moonlight No feelin' in the wind But I know the stars are just as bright Somewhere around the bend She takes a bit of everthin' Just which ever way she flows Now a thought is all she brings And that's the way it goes. Chrorus: That muddy water keeps on rollin' Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on From that bayou town my heart was stolen Like the water rollin' out with the tide She was here and gone...

I need nothing to travel the sea I need nothing, I need nothing But there's something, eating at me Black water, take over Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea, oh-oh Darker days are raining over me, oh-oh In the deepest depths, I lost myself, oh-oh I see myself through someone else The strange silence surrounding me Grows closer, feels colder But I'm ready to suffer the sea Black water, take over Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea, oh-oh Darker days are raining over me, oh-oh In the deepest depths, I lost myself, oh-oh I see myself through someone else Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea, oh-oh Darker days are raining over me, oh-oh In the deepest depths, I lost myself, oh-oh I see myself through someone else Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea, oh-oh Darker days are raining over me, oh-oh In the deepest depths, I lost myself, oh-oh I see myself through someone else

Black water Drippin down your face Mountains in reconstitutions embrace (Chorus) Guns and steel And the Germs of Love Blow for blow In the world of Mud Guns and Steel And the Germs of Love Toe to toe For my aching heart Black water Spread your words on me Waste me with a BANG You know, for posterity (Chorus)

I know your hiding places And I know your every move 'Cuz girl, I've been lonely too And I seen a million faces Been to a million places But girl, there's no one quite like you And I've gone through hell & high water Washed away with the tide I can lose a damn war all by myself If you were on the other side So in the morning when the rooster crows Pack your bags and get ready to go If you're walking through hell & high water Please don't do it alone And I know, you feel let down And I know, you've been turned out I wish I'd been there for you So when the night time comes around And you feel like an only child Just know, I'll be there for you And I've gone through hell & high water Washed away with the tide I can lose a damn war all by myself If you were on the other side So in the morning when the rooster crows Pack your bags and get ready to go If you're walking through hell & high water Please don't do it alone And I've gone through hell & high water Washed away with the tide I can lose a damn war all by myself If you were on the other side So in the morning when the rooster crows Pack your bags and get ready to go If you're walking through hell & high water Please don't do it alone If you're walking through hell and high water Please don't do it alone, oh, no
