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

"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

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 devils fire

But every time I sit down to pray, the devils charm pulls me away

So come on water sweet water, wash me down

So come on water sweet water, wash me down



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 with the water sweet water, wash me down

Come on water sweet water, wash me down



Now I'm ready and it's my time and if I give a nickel, I might get a dime

Only the water can help me now

I'll find glory somewhere, somehow with the water sweet water, wash me down

Come on water sweet water, wash me down



Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare.

Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare.

Tried my hand at the bible, tried my hand at the prayer, but now nothing but the water is gonna bring my soul to bare...
