Nothing But The Water (I) - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

I have seen what man can do

When the evil lives inside of you

Many are the weak, and the strong are few

But with the water, we’ll start anew

Won’t you take me down to the levy?

Take me down to the stream

Take my down to the water

We’re gonna wash our souls clean

Take me down to the river

Take me down to the lake

Yes, we’ll all go together

We’re gonna do it for the good Lord’s sake

I have fallen so many times

For the devil’s sweet cunning rhymes

And this old world has brought me pain

But there’s hope for me again

Well, won’t you take me down to the levy?

Take me down to the stream

Take my down to the water

We’re gonna wash our souls clean

Take me down to the river

Take me down to the lake

Yes, we’ll all go together

We’re gonna do it for the good Lord’s sake

I tried my hand at the Bible

Tried my hand at prayer

But now nothing but the water

Is gonna bring my soul to bear

But now nothing but the water

Is gonna bring my soul to bear
