Down To the Water

Drunk like a pile of roaches Stoned like I'm smoking the ashes How long has it been since I've told you my sins In a church with a bishop from aspen Sober like the bottom of the bottle Writing down my wrongs like a novel How long will it take til my skin starts to shake Take a swig but I can't seem to swallow Lord don't leave me Cause tonight isn't easy Seems all my troubles Show up when I'm sleeping Feeling out of tomorrows Like Sunday night sorrow Lord, it's getting harder Lead me down to the water Cold like a winter time whisper Filling my bones up with shivers I know it's been long so I'm singing this song While I'm nursing my bourbon and bitters Lonely like the moon when it's waning Sad like the stars when they're fading I'm feeling the end and I've missed you my friend Can you stay a little longer this evening? Lord don't leave me Cause tonight isn't easy Seems all my troubles Show up when I'm sleeping Feeling out of tomorrows Like Sunday night sorrow Lord, it's getting harder Lead me down to the water Let me down gentle My mind's going mental I'm two pills away from insane Cause something's not working And see I'm done searching Lord, can you please send the rain? Again, and again, and again? Lord don't leave me Cause tonight isn't easy Seems all my troubles Show up when I'm sleeping Feeling out of tomorrows Like Sunday night sorrow Lord, it's getting harder Lead me down to the water
