about

I felt like revisiting this really old song of mine I wrote back in 2010/2011 when we still lived in caves and the you couldn't have custom iPhone ringtones.

lyrics

Well I ain't seen no gulf stream waters
but I swam in those Great Lakes
I even died in the Mississippi
when just the moon was awake

I felt you swimming up beside me
and you grabbed me by my toes
took me back before tomorrow
but to where I don't know

Winter saw the lakes freeze over
cracking spiderwebs of ice
an extra coat to keep you warmer
when just the one won't suffice

And as we crossed that solid river
you held me closer by your side
tightly there to keep your footing
for nothing else could I provide

This all seems too much to swallow
a little more than I could bear
diving into pools so shallow
the deeper well, well it ain't there
the deeper well, well it ain't there

That water stood so deep and stoic
but it could run on such a tear
and now I'm back just three years later
and it's like we were never there
and it's like we were never there

This all seems too much to swallow
a little more than I could bear
diving into pools so shallow
the deeper well, well it ain't there
the deeper well, well it ain't there

This all seems too much to swallow
a little more than I could bear
diving into pools so shallow
the deeper well, well it ain't there
the deeper well, well it ain't there
