The Water Is Over My Head
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.
Well I walked to the river just to ease my troublin' mind
And I thought about leavin' this cardboard world behind
My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door
Leavin' nothing more than me.
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't no turnin' back...no, no, no...turnin' back...no, no, no
Ahh the breeze in the trees is a-whisperin' Louise today
And you can take back your rib 'cause I'm really not made of clay
My ice cream dreams have just melted in the night
I'm not standing here to fight the tide
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead (de chumbo)
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't no turnin' back...no, no, no...turnin' back...no, no, no
Well, everybody's tellin' me that this is wrong and that ain't right
But that can't be because I saw the sun shine last night
My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see
Oh there's nothing left of me to see
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't no turnin' back...no, no, no...turnin' back...no, no, no
