Deep Water Lyrics - The Middle East

Green-eyed looker, it always pains me to see 

Hollowed out picture of skin and bone 

The strangest stranger that I ever did meet 

Oh and I guess I ain't that old 

She came on strong with her own confidence 

Made you sweat in your cotton, though it'll breathe 

The cruelest behaviour ain't born or mined 

Feel her shell should just go and down the wine 

It's deep water, driving rain 

And all I can remember is a cold 

Another burned out lover who was begging to leave 

She said "why wouldn't you tie your soul to me?" 

Took all I had in my waiting cell 

And a little of what I just don't know 

But I got my thinking up to where I fell 

And I let the memories of my lovers die 

It's a bitter taste and a, a blinding light 

Time fade burns, most would know 

Took the hand of the, the woman I love 

Now I am sure I'm gonna make her my own 

It's the deep water, the driving rain 

I'm making a shelter of my own 

When Jesus comes he's gonna eat with me 

And he's gonna find our children whole 

Got a road all laid out and trenched 

And mined enough for a walking pace 

It seems so different from where I've come 

Oh Lord I'd love to see that, that place again 

With its deep water, mountain range 

Full of those hard living kind 

Petrol stations and a copper mine 

The kind of place I think I could die...
