"Nothing But The Water (II)" lyrics - GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS
I have tried, to find my way
To make it through, to a better day
I have cried, a mighty song
But in the morning, everything was gone
[Chorus:]
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
I have tried, so many times
To put out, the devil's fire
But every time, I sit down to pray
The devil's charm, pulls me away
[Chorus]
Up in heaven, they know the rule
You've got to get down, to the bathing pool
Everybody, you've got to get in line
Down at the river, we're doing fine
[Refrain:]
With the water, sweet water, wash me down
Come on water, sweet water, wash me down
Now I'm ready, it's my time
If I give a nickel, I might get a dime
Only the water, can help me now
I'll find glory, somewhere somehow
[Refrain]
Tried my hand at the bible
Tried my hand at the prayer
But now nothing but the water
Is gonna bring my soul to bear
[repeat once, repeat to fade]
