Watershed

from Fade to Buzz by Rule of Thumb

lyrics

one jack over
keep the change the channel
got a dollar here that says the end is near
black out slowly, fade to velvet
under you, the rolling ground of lost and found

my church rages on and on about it
feet of crows and clay
i can’t pray without it
not one moment to spare for an epiphany
i still rush to wait
the rain out in the dark

but i grow old
waiting for the watershed
but she don’t mind
she runs my hand underneath the water
says “give it just a little bit of time”

belly back down
reaching for another
one of these days, true nirvana’s gonna knock me up
step outside
decision made to smoke away
a banner year, but i’m still here

and now out standing
an open field of memory
a safety net of true regret
duck back in
order up and over out
i steal home to wait
the rain out in the dark
