Blitzen Trapper - Lady on the Water lyrics

Lady on the water make me
Rich and make me poor
Lay your flowers at my door
Lady on the water, bring me branches
Bring me twine graft my heart upon the vine
With your wine down my feathers
As the cock crows given time

Oh to wake my lady on the water
Share my bread share my drink
Pay no mind what others think
Lady on the water whip this wind into a flame
With your grapes and bottled rain
Make your wine of my worship
Of divinely strange refrain

Oh to make it rain

My lady on the water
Place your thumb upon my tongue
Leave a song no one has sung
Lady on the water with your
Jacket blue and strange
Change these rivers in my veins into wine
Learnin', burnin', driven deep into this maze

All of my days

My lady on the water
Lead me from the wilderness
Through countless deserts, dreams and jests
Lady on the water rest my
Head upon your chest
Leave me only when I'm blessed
'Cause, I'll be in my own country
Good and dead and gone to rest

It's the way that's the best
