Lyrics
hey cool water
i have stumbled here upon you once again
i've been wasting all my days on the devils daughter
guess i'm just another ordinary man
i have traded all my gold
for a name of small renown
i have sold my very soul
for a paper party crown
i have claimed to walk on water
while the tangles dragged me down
i have kissed the face of god
though i was lacking
are those rivers good?
are they from my heart?
will they flow like this forever
or in fits and starts?
if you want then
i will test you
where do they go?
i thought i had a premonition
but i don't know
