The Water Is Wide

Lyrics

Your heart's in the wrong place
Say it with your mouth
I pull my guns from the desert, just in case you ever came back around
Put your clothes in the water and lay down at your side
You keep real still and quiet
You can make it through the night
It ain't no sin to shed your skin
Go dancing in your bones
The water's deep and your body's sweet
With lungs, the way to go
Take your face to the river
Down where the water is wide
And if you ask real nice-like
I just might save your life
