The Middle East - Deep Water lyrics
[The Middle East - Deep Water lyrics]
Green-eyed looker, it always pains me to see
Hollowed-out picture of skin and bone
The strangest stranger that I ever did meet
Oh and I guess I ain't that old
She came on strong with her confidence
Make you sweat in your cotton
Though it'll breathe
And the cruelest behavior ain't born or mined
To fill her shell she'll just
Go and down the wine
It's deep water, driving rain
And all I can remember is a cold
Another burned-out lover who was
Begging to leave
She said "why wouldn't you tell
Your soul to me?"
Took all I had in my waiting cell
And a little of what I just don't know
But, I got my thinking up to where I fell
And I let the memories of my lovers die
It's a bitter taste and a blinding light
And time fade burns, most would know
I took the hand of the woman I love
Now I am sure I'm gonna make her my own
It's a deep water, a driving rain
I'm making a shelter of my own
When Jesus comes he's gonna eat with me
And he's gonna find our children hope
Got a road all laid out and trenched
And mindenough for a walking pace
It seems a difference from where I've come
And oh Lord I'd love to see that place again
With it's deep water, mountain range
And full of those hard-living kind
Petrol stations and a copper mine
The kind of place I think I could die
Hollowed-out picture of skin and bone
The strangest stranger that I ever did meet
Oh and I guess I ain't that old
She came on strong with her confidence
Make you sweat in your cotton
Though it'll breathe
And the cruelest behavior ain't born or mined
To fill her shell she'll just
Go and down the wine
It's deep water, driving rain
And all I can remember is a cold
Another burned-out lover who was
Begging to leave
She said "why wouldn't you tell
Your soul to me?"
Took all I had in my waiting cell
And a little of what I just don't know
But, I got my thinking up to where I fell
And I let the memories of my lovers die
It's a bitter taste and a blinding light
And time fade burns, most would know
I took the hand of the woman I love
Now I am sure I'm gonna make her my own
It's a deep water, a driving rain
I'm making a shelter of my own
When Jesus comes he's gonna eat with me
And he's gonna find our children hope
Got a road all laid out and trenched
And mindenough for a walking pace
It seems a difference from where I've come
And oh Lord I'd love to see that place again
With it's deep water, mountain range
And full of those hard-living kind
Petrol stations and a copper mine
The kind of place I think I could die
