The Waters All Run Dry

from Let the Lead Fly by Wrinkle Neck Mules

lyrics

When I looked up from the ground The moon blocked out the clouds The crowd control wasn’t keeping me at bay Like a spider in the drain I swam and screamed and swayed Raised my arms and hoped to hear you say Turn it over dark of night Prop me up in the morning light Tomorrow I’ll wish that I had died Sweep the floors, prop the chairs And leave me lying here Watching as the waters all run dry In the east the daylight broke But my eyes they burned and smoked With thoughts of some Sunday left behind Spilling cubes from the glass Rising slow and falling fast Yes, I guess the years have not been kind There’s fog all around the lens And I’ve not seen you since We lay upon the Dominion’s mighty bones While the devil worked the fields Deliver us Lord from all evil Because each of us has cast our own stones Turn it over dark of night Prop me up in the morning light Tomorrow I’ll pray to God that I’m alive Lock the doors, run down the stairs I’ll strain my ears to hear You calling as the waters all run dry
