GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS
"Nothing But The Water (II)"

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]
