Banks Of The Deep End

On the banks of the deep end Where your soul is your best friend Searching for a reason To go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs And everything that you used to know Is slipping away Here I've got my puzzle-piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for asking No going back to get hurt I take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standing Dig your shoes into the dirt Trying hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders We can be the only one See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home There's a feeling when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feeling deep inside And there's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rolling creation Sit away from the window And lock the door Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see the yellow flowers bloom Sun going down It's gonna be rising soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as a river bend Searching for a reason to go astray You couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the man could do Just the sound of his walking Could split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen Tigers on TV The singer's pretending That this song's for me See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look You took a wrong turn Down by the waterline I heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the bands of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searching for a reason to go astray
