Dirty Water

We were half way there

When we had to turn back

They saw our ghosts

Slide across the moon

I wouldn't say it was fair

We were covering our tracks

We're out of the war

Well before they knew

I, I've been drinking dirty water

From the river in your palm

I, I've been kneeling on the sharp end

Another nail in the cross

We were up to our necks

On promises we can't keep

Another rider slipped away at dawn

You put me up to the test

But the winds were too weak

Blowing smoke out into the fog

I, I've been drinking dirty water

From the river in your palm

I, I've been kneeling on the sharp end

Another nail in the cross
