lyrics

We need to cross this river
Before it all gets too close
But I'm not sure the bridge is strong enough to carry us both
So I will be dangling Right out over the edge
Until I am lone and I am washed away instead

But I can't pull myself above the current
And I can hardly breath
And I guess it's about time to repent
In this caldron as I seethe (Oooo, oooo ,oooo)

And I won't be washed clean
I'll be swept under the dredge
Lately I'm not living, just trudging slow towards death
And now I'm choking on the water And the silt coats my lungs
And I feel it getting colder and I'm swallowing my tongue

Yes, I'm choking on the water
And still I can hardly breathe
And I guess its time to regret
All the things I've left unclean

But I can see the other side now
Oh it's getting very close
And I have held on enough to carry us both
And I don't know how I did it But I won't question or regret it
It's the questions left unanswered that free us most


So now I'm floating high above the current
And we are sitting on the bank
And it's you that gave me the reason
And it ain't no god thank I am thank-ing

(Oooooo)

Drawing inspiration in style and delivery from songwriters and musicians of that past, while writing from what inspires him in his everyday life, he bridges the gap between American Roots and current day Americana music. ... more
