Waterline Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

Well it used to be everything was fine 

Everything, this all was mine 

All I had to do was write it down 

You'd just be there with your perfect frown 

I made up my mind 

I traded holy water for cheap wine 

I ran out of time 

Well it used to be everything was fine 

Everything, this all was mine 

But one fine day, you might say 

That I, I threw it all away 

'cause I made up my mind 

I traded holy water for cheap wine 

I ran out of time 

Or something that I can't define 

I traded my whiskey for your wine 

Leaving my river running dry 

And a waterline 

You might say I'm wasting my time 

You might say well, I don't mind 

I ran out of time 

Or something that I can't define 

I traded holy water for cheap wine 

Leaving my river running dry 

Leaving just a waterline 

Just a waterline
