Water Falls Down – Lyrics & Stream

Words and Music by Robin Frederick

And when regrets come
The evening air grows cold
And when regrets come
Islands move from pole to pole
You reach for something to hold onto
But there is nothing there to hold

Chorus:
And the floodgates finally open
And there is no higher ground
And the levees lie there broken
And there’s silence all around
WATER FALLS DOWN

St. Vitus dances
In the mist above your floating sleeves
There are no anchors
Your drunken boat drifts with the leaves
Then you feel the ninth wave breaking
As you slip backwards into sleep

CHORUS

Rushing over the sand
Through the space between hands
Washing you to the sea
When you have no desire to pull yourself free.

And when regrets come
The evening air grows cold
And when regrets come
Islands move from pole to pole
You search for something to hold onto
But there is nothing left to hold

CHORUS
