lyrics

As I sit in this old house and slowly drink myself to death, I’m picking up the pieces of a life. Is that I have left? On the night that I moved in, I met an old man at the door. He said, “Baby, I have got a gun so what do you need money for. What do you need sanity for?” I’m sitting in the attic on an endless string of lonely nights and all I have for company is a friendly group of poltergeists. So, come upstairs. We’ll share a drink and you say you’ll always be a friend but I’ve made that mistake before and I’ll never trust those words again. I’ll never trust a man again. Until I, wade into the water, wade into the water where I’ll drown. Wade into the water. Wade into the water where I found there’s something missing and it’s never coming back and there’s just no point in chasing it as I watch it slowly slipping through the cracks. Every day when I wake up it’s just an hour after dawn and, as I’m bussing tables, I just let my mind escape in song. Looking for the meaning in the old folk singer’s somber tune about a girl who had it all and watched it slip away so soon and tumbled like a rolling stone. Until she’d, wade into the water, wade into the water where she’d drown. Wade into the water. Wade into the water where she found there’s something missing and it’s never coming back and there’s just no sense in chasing it as she watched it slowly slipping through the cracks. And I find there’s something missing and it’s never coming back and there’s just no point in chasing it as we watch it slowly slipping through the cracks.
