lyrics

some people get up
every morning with the sun
drop a line in the water
and wait to feel a tug

maybe the water isn’t water
maybe the line isn’t a line
maybe it’s brick and it’s mortar
or maybe it’s all gone online

the rules of the game are the same
waiting for lightening to strike
it’ll turn all the water into wine
we’ll be building the dam in the meantime

i walk in the middle
keep my eye on the line
my hands on the wheel
and my blessings in my mind

and if the air becomes lighter
and i’m lifted into the sky
i’ll surrender to the wild blue
i’ll be ready for the ride

the rules of the game are the same
waiting for lightening to strike
it’ll turn all the water into wine
we’ll be building the dam in the meantime

it takes a train
it takes a railroad
it takes ten thousand hands
it takes a flame
it takes cold steel
it takes blood sweat and magic

some people get up
every morning with the sun
drop a line in the water
and wait to feel a tug

maybe the water’s only water
maybe the line is just a line
maybe the metaphors too meta for
its pieces to align

the rules of the game are the same
waiting for lightening to strike
it’ll turn all the water into wine
we’ll be building the dam in the meantime
