Black Water Songtext
von Eric Harrison

Pin this flag upon your car
Fall in line it won′t be far
Sun or rain may shower down
On this less than solid ground
Only sadness not a sound
Hallelujah glory bound, glory bound

Up to the St. Ignatius gates
Where we got high in '88
Staked a claim out here before
Till our game became your war
We ignored the open doors
Blind and blissful nothing less
And nothing more

Now I know where the time goes
′Cause I've seen where the black water flows
Into a night so dark that love will not abide

And always by your side


Your mother's name I never knew
On the stone right next to you
Broken hearts defiant brave
Every tear a soul to save
But the comfort that we crave
All the words we long to hear
Won′t be engraved

Took all that I could get
Though we weren′t even started yet
Now all the little things are somehow magnified
And always by your side
Always by your side

I see your daughter in a dress
We're talking more and saying less
And I swear I cracked a code
To release this heavy load
All the fates we had to goad
In the end there′s nothing spent
And nothing owed

Now I know where the time goes
And I've seen where the black water flows
Into a love so deep there′s nothing left to hide
Always by your side
Always by your side
