On the Water

Made a good run but I've run too far Felt 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 now 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 Felt 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 --- On the Water - Josh Ritter
