Banks Of The Deep End Songtext
von Gov’t Mule

On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend
Searchin′ for a reason
To go astray
Wild dreams turn to nightmares
Silver clouds turn to golden stairs
Everything that you used to know
Is slippin' away, yeah
Here I′ve got my puzzle-piece
Only got it for a short term lease
No time for askin'
No goin' back to get hurt
Take a little from the mixture
Try to fit it into the picture
Got a place where you′re standin′
Dig your shoes into the dirt
Tryin' hard to get back
Runnin′ on the stones
Put you on my shoulders
I can be the only one


See the world's still spinnin′ 'round
Gettin′ dizzy when we look
There's a reason to be home
There's a feelin′ when you smile
But it feels like it might take over
This feelin′ deep inside
There's a distance down the line
Far away from the station
We can leave it all behind
On a rollin′ creation
Stay away from the window
Oh, and lock the door
Can't you learn from the last time
And the time before
See the world′s still spinnin' ′round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
Got to leave town
To see yellow flowers bloom
Sun goin' down
It′s gonna be, gonna be risin′ soon
On the banks of the deep end
Twisted as a riverbend
Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yeah

Couldn′t hire twenty-five men
To do what the man couldn't do
Just the sound of his walkin′
Split the whole damn town in two
Into the night full of shadows
He still walks when the thunder rolls
This river ain't shallow
Reminds us that the bell still tolls
Bears in the kitchen
Tigers on TV
The singer′s pretendin'
That this song's for me
See the world′s still spinnin′ 'round
Gettin′ dizzy when we look
Took a wrong turn down by the waterline
Heard they had to drag you off the sand
Find a dune and the wind will miss you
Hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
On the banks of the deep end
Where I lost my best friend
Searchin' for a reason to go astray, hey
