Wait - Over the Rhine

Wait for the sound of the water dog

To call up the ghosts through the cracks in my past

Make the hair raise on my skin

Tonight we’ll settle in

Into a promise that I’ve held fast

Life is a beauty that’s mocking you

She’s a river to drown in while singing the blues

Let the backstroke pull you in

On your lover you descend

Leaving your mark without leaving a bruise

Make the sound

That I need you to

Hit the ground

Like it’s haunting you

Come around

Like you’re dying to

Then wait…

Wait for the sound of the water dog

To call up the ghosts through the cracks in my past

Make the hair raise on my skin

Tonight we’ll settle in

Into a promise that I’ve held fast
