Blood In The Water

Didn't cry on the day she died She couldn't stand the tears But I could feel the cold wind blow Like a ghost inside the mirror I couldn't pray on the day he died For a man I never knew I wash these sins on down the river For a life I didn't choose I say a prayer for my mother I cry a tear for my father Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water I pray for forgiveness Let the Lord be my witness Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water Just a child of a ruthless man Let the truth be told Everyone's got their cross to bear You carry that weight alone So, what would you give, what would you take On your dying day? Between the lies and the memories What shines will fade away, yeah I say a prayer for my mother I cry a tear for my father Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water I pray for forgiveness Let the Lord be my witness Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water I say a prayer for my mother I cry a tear for my father Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water I pray for forgiveness Let the Lord be my witness Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water (Blood!) There's blood in the water Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water I pray for forgiveness Let the Lord be my witness Ain't nothin' gonna save me There's blood in the water (in the water, water)
