lyrics
Tumblers of tonic and boxes of wine
To medicate maladies and buy you some time
Before the world crashes in like a shot up the spine
Spinning
Like a planet in an empty sky
Don’t forget to write
From the place you spent the night
Never fear
Be like the water my dear
Be like the water my dear
The hills you remember from when you were young
They are still standing tall like the day you were born
But in ten thousand years they will likely be gone
By the water worn
Don’t forget to write
From the place you spent the night
Never fear
Be like the water my dear
Be like the water my dear
You are an arrow shot from a womb
You are destined for things that a destined for you
There’s a quivering wind and some fighting to do
So keep your eyes open and pray that your aim is true
Don’t forget to write
From the place you spent the night
Never fear
Be like the water my dear
To medicate maladies and buy you some time
Before the world crashes in like a shot up the spine
Spinning
Like a planet in an empty sky
Don’t forget to write
From the place you spent the night
Never fear
Be like the water my dear
Be like the water my dear
The hills you remember from when you were young
They are still standing tall like the day you were born
But in ten thousand years they will likely be gone
By the water worn
Don’t forget to write
From the place you spent the night
Never fear
Be like the water my dear
Be like the water my dear
You are an arrow shot from a womb
You are destined for things that a destined for you
There’s a quivering wind and some fighting to do
So keep your eyes open and pray that your aim is true
Don’t forget to write
From the place you spent the night
Never fear
Be like the water my dear
