Down by the Water's Edge

Down by the water’s edge,
no one’s my master I’m left there searching
For passion’s uneasiness,
the last temptation And all is lost
Down by the water’s edge,
my dreams all come true For once I’m happy
Patient deliverance,
now I’m worthy To eat this bread

In the space between my consciousness,
My fleeting values and emptiness
In the space between my consciousness
Forever haunting I’m lost without you
So take me to the river’s bend
Open my eyes and let me see

Down by the water’s edge,
wrapped in silence Forever hoping
To cure passion’s loneliness,
the false pretenses The hallow void
Down by the water’s edge,
the naked virtue I’m left there trusting
Patient deliverance,
now I’m worthy To drink this cup

In the space between my consciousness,
My fleeting values and emptiness
In the space between my consciousness
Forever haunting I’m lost without you
So take me to the river’s bend
Open my eyes and let me see

So now I ask you today
Oh river now I pray
For all the sins of yesterday
Oh river wash them away

Down by the water’s edge,
no one’s my master I’m left there searching
Patient deliverance,
now I’m worthy To enter in
