The Water’s Rising
By Paul Mestice

The water’s rising
Knee deep and climbing
I am sinking to a watery grave

I crossed the wrong man
Messed with his plan
Tied up and soon I’m going to drown

The water’s rising
Waist deep and climbing
I am sinking to a watery grave

Didn’t think about nothing
Until he caught me
They pushed my out into a lake

The water’s cold, my mind is so clear
I’m sinking fast, the end is so near
I fight the rope, what I need is more time
I crossed the wrong man and I will die

The water’s rising
Neck deep and climbing
I am sinking to a watery grave

The end is so near
My mind is so clear
Tonight I am going to die

No hope, tight rope
Bad call now out of control
In deep, talk’s cheap
Sinking to the bottom of the fish bowl

The water’s cold, my mind is so clear
I’m sinking fast, the end is so near
I fight the rope, what I need is more time
I crossed the wrong man and I will die
