The morning comes again
no peace to be found
the night was just like
all others
both feet might as well
be underground

Can’t remember what I’ve
forgotten
Can’t seem to forget what
I keep remembering
No difference between dreams
and their wicked schemes

Dark waters
gets into my head
Dark waters
leaving babies unfed
Dark waters
gives me temporary
rest for my head
Dark waters
shields me from
the dead

Trying to find my way home
decades long gone
and still no closer
and so I continue to roam
Even the spirits’
faces are lost behind
overgrown braids

But
Dark waters
gets into my head
Dark waters
leaving babies unfed
Dark waters
gives me temporary
rest for my head
Dark waters
shields me from
the dead

Pray for me this day
Perhaps we’ll meet on
the other side of that river
with its crystal clear
cool running water
laying myself down
and drift away forever

Until then I’ll be here
Dark waters
gets into my head
Dark waters
leaving babies unfed
Dark waters
gives me temporary
rest for my head
Dark waters
shields me from
the dead
