On the Water

Lyrics

Made a good run but I've run too far
 Felt the battle of jalopy in this beat-up car
 But I'm drawn to you honey like the sea to the fisherman's daughter
 It's just a short walk on the water
 If you find yourself alone, if you run out of road
 If you get the way it gets when lightning strikes and then goes
 I'll be around, it don't matter what the others offer
 It's just a short walk on the water
 I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear
 You're standing over there and I'm standing right here
 The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna
 You and I've been lovers, honey, you and I are friends
 Been that way forever since I can't remember when
 Everything happens for a reason or at least, it oughta
 It's just a short walk on the water
 I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear
 You're standing over there and I'm standing right here
 The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna
 With the storm in your hair and the salt in your eyes in the cyclone
 And the cap of each wave like the first day that you fell in love
 And you're in between nothing but the thin air and the unknown
 On a night when enough couldn't possibly be enough
 Everything is changing now, times are strange
 You know me honey like you now my name
 My heart is a silver fish on the line of your laughter
 It's just a short walk on the water
 I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear
 You're standing over there and I'm standing right here
 The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna
 Made a good run but I've run too far
 Felt the battle of jalopy in this beat-up car
 But I'm drawn to you honey like the sea to the fisherman's daughter
 It's just a short walk on the water
