On the Water - Josh Ritter

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
