Josh Ritter - On The Water lyrics

Made a good run but I've run too far
Fought the battle of jalopy
In this beat-up car
But, I’m drawn to you honey like
The sea to the fisherman's daughter
It's just a short walk on the water

If you find yourself alone
If you run out of road
If you get the way it gets
When lightning strikes and then goes
I’ll be around
It don't matter what the others offer
It's just a short walk on the water

I'm in love with you honey
You've got nothing to fear
You're standing over there and
I'm standing right here
The choice is for you
I can't make it for you though I wanna

You and I’ve been lovers, honey
You and I are friends
Been that way forever since
I can’t remember when
Everything happens for a reason or at least
It oughta
It's just a short walk on the water

I’m in love with you honey
You've got nothing to fear
You're standing over there and
I'm standing right here
The choice is for you
I can’t make it for you though I wanna

With the storm in your hair and the
Salt in your eyes in the cyclone
And the cap of each wave like the
First day that you fell in love
And you're in between nothing but the
Thin air and the unknown
On a night when enough
Couldn't possibly be enough

Everything is changing now, times are strange
You know me honey like you know my name
My heart is a silver fish on
The line of your laughter
It's just a short walk on the water

I'm in love with you honey
You've got nothing to fear
You're standing over there and
I'm standing right here
The choice is for you
I can't make it for you though I wanna

Made a good run but I've run too far
Fought the battle of jalopy
In this beat-up car
But, I'm drawn to you honey like
The sea to the fisherman's daughter
It's just a short walk on the water
