Lyrics

Walking On Water

He was born in the darkness of a cold, December night
In the part of town where the streets don't have no lights
He grew up to do like his daddy done before
Took a job down at the mill but he always wanted more

They met in the eye of a raging hurricane
She came for the glory he just came for the pain
She swore to him that they would never be apart
But lately he feels himself slipping from her heart

She's been walking on water, he's been sinking down
She's been going farther, he's been losing ground
If he'd just reach his hand out, she'd take hold every time
She's been walking on water, he's been falling behind

Last night he said a prayer to God as he drove through the pouring rain
"I know I've drifted far away but you promised you would remain
And I'd give anything for just one simple word from above
Cause they can take my pride but please don't let them take my love."

She's been walking on water, he's been sinking down
She's been going farther, he's been losing ground
If he'd just reach his hand out, she'd take hold every time
She's been walking on water, he's been falling behind
