lyrics

WATER

You pull me
from the water,
you save me
from the brink
My brain is
choked with static
& my heart
is clogged with drink

Hemingway
said it’s so simple
but takes a lifetime
to catch it all
but how can we
trust a hero
who with a shotgun
hits a wall?

You pull me
from the water,
you save me
from the brink
My brain is
choked with static
& my heart
is clogged with drink

Soldiers
in Viet Nam
watch their best friends
get shot to Hell
But we can die
just as swiftly
from a broken heart
as from a shell

You always pick me up
when I fall down
a lightbulb
in a dark room
in this crazy town
I’m sorry
& I’m embarrassed
but I get scared sometimes...

You pull me
from the water,
You pull me
from the water,
You pull me
closer
