You like your pain with a double shot. I prefer mine dry.
I want the truth plain spoken, but you won’t look me in the eye.
I’ll call you bluff, maybe you’ll call mine.
In the end it won’t matter who’s right.
I put both hands out to reach you
And you’ve got one foot out the door.
You’re counting on a new day dawning on what cannot be ignored.
I’m tired of breaking your bad news; sick of singing these delta blues.
Dark water washing over me; dark water, down to the sea.
Are we too proud to see we need each other
To reach a higher ground?
Too distracted to feel the sting of a hard rain coming down?
But when the storm is closing in will you heed the warning then?
Dark water washing over me; dark water, down to the sea.
You could turn your back or you could turn around.
I know together we can turn this around;
Keep from going down without a sound into…
Dark water washing over me; dark water, down to the sea.
Dark water washing over me… dark water, down to the sea.
I can feel the water rising, over me.
Can’t you feel the water rising? Dark water…
Dark water, washing over me; dark water…
