Water's Edge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm at the water's edge and I am peering closer
This is where I will be, where you can find me
My shadow's kissing secrets, your heart's in agony
I never meant to make you cry
Love, come back to me
Troubled boy, I'll kiss you one last time
And then say goodnight forever
But little girl, I'm not feeling well
These nights are long enough without you
Who's sending letters through the mail?
(Stop it, quit calling my name)
Whose empty chair is at the table?
(It's mine, I've left you alone)
Who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
String me along like a beautiful love song
Carolina, Carolina
Carolina, Carolina
Now that I have you, may I use you as a muse
And keep you up all night in trading stories
And whisper singing love?
Troubled boy, I'll kiss you one last time
And then say goodnight forever
But little girl, I'm not feeling well
These nights are long enough without you
Who's sending letters through the mail?
(Stop it, quit calling my name)
Whose empty chair is at the table?
(It's mine, I've left you alone)
Who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
String me along like a beautiful love song
All I want, all I need
All I want is to be
Who's sending letters through the mail?
Whose empty chair is at the table?
Who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
String me along like a beautiful love song
