Water Me Down - Abbie Mac

Where you been of lately? Cause I'm missing your cheeks The ones upon your face babe And the ones above your knees You could be a meal now Leave nothing but your ribs Or I could settle you a new town In the mountains where you lived when you were just a kid and I swear I laid down my arms on the day you came along Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along "How can I be helpful?" Said the lady on the phone "Oh and ain't the weather dreadful? It's all a plan to keep us alone." Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me So that I know I'm awake And what does "teach your man to fish" mean? It's to survive another day I'll hold you if you hold you Self-respect I pay it back And tell your old boy that's the old you So he don't come around here thinking That he'll get you back cause he won't though I laid down my arms on the day you came along Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along I spent my whole life fighting fear after fear Yeah all my days, all my days I'd do them over and over and over and over again I've been right here before I've made up my mind Yeah all my days, all my days I'd do them over and over and over and over and I laid down my arms on the day you came along Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along Where you been of lately Cause I'm missing your cheeks

Waking in odd spaces, knowing now That I'm not alone and you are around And I have 49 places all lined up While I'm stumbling 'round with a spilling cup, singing Facing another way, where I am, knowing that the love can stay And we're out, down by the water singing our songs My darling, the loving sun's going down Cuffed up in my ways and I know you But I know myself like I know you too And I see a lot of faces, just like ours And they're going fast in their speeding cars, rollin' Facing another way, where I am, knowing that the love can stay And we're out, down by the water singing our songs My darling, the loving sun's going down Ohh-ohh, on we go Ohh-ohh, fast and slow-woah Facing another way, where I am, knowing that the love can stay And we're out, down by the water singing our songs My darling, the loving sun's coming Take my hand, I don't need any fear All I need's this love and to have you here and tonight Down by the water, emptying cups My darling, the loving sun's coming up

Someday I'll find her And I'm still reminded Maybe she's best in dreams She's still the best I've seen Dreamin' Dreamin' Dreamin' Baby, I'm dreamin' Out on her windowsill Baby remember Maybe I'm out of luck Maybe it's running still Dreamin' Dreamin' Dreamin' Baby, I'm dreamin'
