From the recording From "Sleeps With His Guitar" (1997)
Lyrics
I’ve been tryin’
Oh my friend
to mold your mind
and yeah you bend
to my touch
ah but you’re
not so much like putty
more like water
slippin through my hands
like water
slippin through my hands
how to feel
spin the wheel
cut the deck
what the heck
shake the dice
break the ice
make your play and run away like water
slippin through my hands
like water slipping though my hands
wish i wish i
could find
a way to get inside you
a way inside your crazy head
but you’re like water
slippin through my hands
like water
slippin through my hands
set adrift
in the dark
feelin like
Noah’s ark
forty days
in the rain
forty days
down the drain
i know i
hurt you bad
wish i could
make it good
dry your eyes
though i know
that i should
just let it flow like water
slippin through my hands
like water
slippin through my hands
