Three Feet Of Water

(album: The Devil Don't Sleep - 2017)

Got a whole lot of years
And a whole lot of pain
And it all got me here
Where the river meets the clay
Rewinding through my past
Tryin to find some good
But I can't seem to see
What mama always could

And that sun is shining down
On all my darker days
They're coming to me now
As I hear the preacher say
In the name of the Son and the Father
Can I really leave it all
In three feet of water?

I can't unbreak the laws
Straighten out the rules I've bent
Take the broken dreams and hearts
Make 'em all whole again
I been carrying around
All the messes that I've made
But a few more steps from now
They'll all be washed away

And that sun is shining down
On all my darker days
They're coming to me now
As I hear the preacher say
In the name of the Son and the Father
Who'd've thought I could leave it all
In three feet of water
Washing over me
Amazing Grace the choir sings
And now I know what mercy's all about

And that sun is shining down
And all my darker days
They're nowhere to be found
All that preacher had to say
Was in the name of the Son and the Father
Who'd've thought I could leave it all?
You took my cross so I could leave it all
In three feet of water
Mmm, in three feet of water
Mmm

So, it's that simple, huh?
