lyrics

Something's In The Water

I know a man for all seasons, he's out there on the street
He's got a hunger in his, dead on his feet
He talks in riddles, he talks in rhyme
What a story he could tell
If the good Lord gives him time

Life was easy, now he lives on hope
Hung up on drinking and all kinds of dope
Drifting on the clouds, rolling on the sea
There's something in the water
And it troubles me

Something's in the water

Another day over, the seabird folds her wings
The songbird sleeps while the nightbird sings
It's up there in the clouds and deep down in the sea
Well I know something's in the water
And it's playing games with me

A man for any season, he's out there on the street
Wisdom in his eyes, the world at his feet
He speaks in riddles, he talks in rhymes, sometimes
Could be a higher truth is written
Somewhere between the lines
