Lyrics
Muddy Waters
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.
We are kneeling at the river's edge and tempting
All the steps to follow closer right behind
Is it only when you feel a part is empty?
That it's gnawing at the corners of your mind
Oh, I will ask you for mercy
I will come to you blind
What you'll see is the worst me
Not the last of my kind
Oh, oh-oh
In the muddy water, we're falling
Oh, oh-oh
In the muddy water, we're crawling
Hold me down
Hold me now
Sold me out
In the muddy waters, we're falling
It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway
Where we end is not the way that we had planned
All the spirits gather 'round like it's our last day
To get across, you know we'll have to raise the sand
Oh, I will ask you for mercy
I will come to you blind
What you'll see is the worst me
Not the last of my kind
Oh, oh-oh
In the muddy water, we're falling
Oh, oh-oh
In the muddy water, we're crawling
Hold me down
Hold me now
Sold me out
In the muddy water, we're falling
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't fail me now
Put your arms around me and pull me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I know I'm found
With your arms around me, oh, save me now
Oh, oh-oh
In the muddy water, we're falling
Oh, oh-oh
In the muddy water, we're crawling
Hold me down
Hold me now
Sold me out
In the muddy water, we're falling
