Where the Waters Go Down

Saw her once again
A diamond full of lead
A face I knew I can't forget
One kiss, two regrets
The world stopped making sense
But all my loving, here it stays
Endless nights I've wandered all alone
Just waiting for the moment she'd return
And here I am, still frightened to the bone
That I'd be left outside, outside her door again
I wanna hold you but you stray too far
I should have known you'd walk away
Hey!
I wanna kiss you but it's too damn rough
But baby I'll be waiting for it all
Where the waters go down
Living underground
Nowhere to be found
Always so far and away
Looked me in the eyes
She said she's so surprised
She'd never do those things again
She's been high, but mostly she's been low
And she had kept it secret all along
And all this time I struggled to move on
So I could still belong and see her eyes again
I wanna hold you but you stray too far
I should have known you'd walk away
Hey!
I wanna kiss you but it's too damn rough
But baby I'll be waiting for it all
Where the waters go down
[Bridge/Organ solo]
I wanna hold you but you stray too far
I should have known you'd walk away
I wanna kiss you but it's too damn rough
But baby I'll be waiting for it all
Hey!
I wanna hold you but you stray too far
Somehow I knew you'd walk away
Hey!
I wanna kiss you but it's too damn rough
But baby I'll be waiting for it all
Where the waters go down
Hey!

I've gone miles and miles
In one hundred styles
But now I'm coming home to you
I've been through roller coasters
High speeding through highs and lows
But now I'm running home to you
Well, I've been venturing alone
Where no man's soul's supposed to go
And I've been searching for a path to call my own
And I'll be on the run
No matter how stubborn times become
Still, I'll keep coming home to you
Save me, embrace me
Place me where my soul is free
When the darkness makes its plays
When the pawns fall into place
Would you help me find the way?
When the magic stops to be
Would you stand right here with me
When it seems we've lost it all?
I'm still waiting for the storm
Let the clouds keep chasing
Let the stakes keep changing
And let the thunders lead the way
Let the way forth bang the drum
I've walked this walk for way too long
And for too long it's been the same
Take me, make me
Wake me when the time is nigh
When the darkness makes its plays
When the pawns fall into place
Would you help me find the way?
When the magic stops to be
Would you stand right here with me
When it seems we've lost it all?
I'm still waiting for the storm
I'm waiting on a miracle before they shoot me dead
I'm searching for a state of mind, a place to
Rest my head
Don't go, don't leave me hanging, I'll keep
Banging every door
Cause every night I dream of running from
What came before
[Guitar solo]
When the darkness makes its plays
When the pawns fall into place
Would you help me find the way?
When the magic stops to be
Would you stand right here with me
When it seems we've lost it all?
I'm still waiting for the storm
Well I'll keep running through the fire
I'll be well and on my way
I'll be a poet and a writer
'Til the drums begin to change

All talk and no action, same old, same old
Damn the lies and deceit, never seen so much shit on my lawn
Always chasing the rainbow but never really finding the gold
Live your days on your couch, keep on barking,
That's what life is about (That's what life is about)
Cover up all your shame, some excuses, I've already lost count (I've already lost count)
Blame the waves all you want,
But you're sailing with your head in the clouds (With your head in the clouds)
Stop with the same old blues this time
I'm picking fight over flight
Rid of your mental shackles, don't pretend it's fine
So buckle up, we'll play some different blues tonight
It's this same old story, you wish but you don't seek to have (Wish but you don't seek to have)
It's been there, it's been creeping and showing up again and again (Showing up again and again)
So you build your illusion, unwilling to get rid of the chain (Oh, yes you are)
Stop with the same old blues this time
I'm picking fight over flight
Rid of your mental shackles, don't pretend it's fine
So buckle up, we'll play some different blues tonight
Hard to make out the truth from the noise
Guess all your preaching's in vain
You need the will to believe
You have to crave to perceive
Else you'll just live and die alone, in pain, no
[Guitar solo]
Stop with the same old blues this time
I'm picking fight over flight
Rid of your mental shackles, don't pretend it's fine
So buckle up, we'll play some different blues tonight
Whoa (Different blues tonight)
Different blues tonight
Different blues
Different blues tonight

I'm going home
You know that here's where I belong
I've traveled miles but gotten nowhere, for so long I have been gone
I'm going home
I'm going back to the beginning
Where they said that all had started, and I'm getting there alone
I've been away for a long, long time
Where just an hour can seem like days
But no one can deny the love that's flowing free
Like a stream sent from heaven for you and me
I'm going home
And now there's nothing that can stop me
There's no wind and there's no river that will set me off my way
'Cause the fire will burn for as long as I'll be free
And as long as I'll be breathing, this is where I'll wanna be
I've been away for a long, long time
Where just an hour can seem like days
But no one can deny the love that's flowing free
Like a stream sent from heaven for you and me
'Cause I know what it's like to be thrown on the ground
I know how it feels to be left all alone
I know how it is to be thrown all around
I know what it's like when all dignity's gone
[Strings section/Violin solo]
I've been away for a long, long time
Where just an hour can seem like days
But no one can deny the love that's flowing free
Like a stream sent from heaven for you and me

I've been trying to make things right again for quite some time now
Erase the torment and the pain
I've been living in the fear that I would lose your smile
That you'd leave me in the rain
I know I've done you wrong, baby
But I want you to know that I
I've been trying to make things right
Since the beginning of our time
I've been trying to make things right
And I've been trying to make things right
Since the beginning of our time
Why did you have to blow my mind?
I've been walking all alone again with clouds beside me
Making plots and schemes on how to win you back
I've sensed the rain that's closing in, feels like a lonely Monday
Maybe it's the strength that I require, but I lack
I know I've done us wrong, baby
But I want you to know that I
I've been trying to make things right
Since the beginning of our time
I've been trying to make things right
And I've been trying to make things right
Since the beginning of our time
Why did you have to blow my mind?

You used to be a beam of light
A statue of hope, an all-white knight
But now you're gone, your smile is too
And things like this you can't undo
Can't undo
What you've built was meant to last
And it's not over though you've passed
An odd, safe haven, a place so real
Where open wounds were yours to heal
Now's your time to fade away
All your creations, they won't go in vain
Now's your time to fade away
And all your colors to turn to gray
What I'd give for one last chance
For one goodbye, for one last glance
Oh, this land made of wood, of sailors and cowmen
It won't be the same without you by my side
Now's your time to fade away
All your creations, they won't go in vain
Now's your time to fade away
And all your colors to turn to gray
[Guitar solo]
Now's your time to fade away
The troubles you've been through, they won't go in vain
Now's your time to fade away
And all your colors to turn to gray

Walking on a thin string line
Between the love of hate and the hate of love
Choosing to ignore is something that could never keep me warm
Loving you could send us to a better place without disgrace
But honey, you just couldn't keep your head off someone else's bed
So go away and don't come back
I'll wave goodbye and wish you luck
I'll take my chances on my own
I'll be the one I thought you'd known
Go away and let me be
I'm done with you, you're done with me
I'll keep my distance, out of sight
Don't want no princess in my life
Wasn't searching in the crowd, but trying to find an answer
Wasn't desperate for a dance, just looking for a dancer
Guess that if you'd send me off,
At least you'd make it worth your while
Keeping secrets is your way of faking someone else's smile
So go away and don't come back
I'll wave goodbye and wish you luck
I'll take my chances on my own
I'll be the one I thought you'd known
Go away and let me be
I'm done with you, you're done with me
I'll keep my distance, out of sight
Don't want no princess in my life
[Guitar solo]
Whoa woman, you better go home now
Now, whoa, oh yeah
So go away and don't come back
I'll wave goodbye and wish you luck
I'll take my chances on my own
I'll be the one I thought you'd known
Go away and let me be
I'm done with you, you're done with me
I'll keep my distance, out of sight
Don't want no princess in my life
