Spirit on the Water

Spirit on the water
 Darkness on the face of the deep
 I keep thinkin' about you, baby
 And I can't hardly sleep
 I'm travelin' by land
 Travelin' through the dawn of day
 You're always on my mind
 I can't stay away
 
 I'd forgotten about you
 Then you turned up again
 I always knew
 We were meant to be more than friend
 When you're near
 It's just as plain as it can be
 I'm wild about you, gal
 You ought to be a fool about me
 Can't explain
 The sources of this hidden pain
 You burned your way into my heart
 You got the key to my brain
 I've been tramplin' through mud
 Prayin' to the powers above
 I'm sweatin' blood
 You got a face that begs for love
 
 Life without you
 Doesn't mean a thing to me
 If I can't have you
 I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea
 Sometimes I wonder
 Why you can't treat me right?
 You do good all day
 And then you do wrong all night
 When you're with me
 I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
 What does it matter?
 Or what price I pay?
 They brag about your sugar
 Brag about it all over town
 Put some sugar in my bowl
 I feel like layin' down
 I'm as pale as a ghost
 Holdin' a blossom on a stem
 You ever seen a ghost? No
 But you have heard of them
 I see you there
 I'm blinded by the colors I see
 I take good care
 Of what belongs to me
 ♪
 I hear your name
 Ringin' up and down the line
 I'm sayin' it plain
 These ties are strong enough to bind
 Now your sweet voice
 Calls out from some old familiar shrine
 I got no choice
 Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind
 
 I could live forever
 With you perfectly
 You don't ever
 Have to make a fuss over me
 From East to West
 Ever since the world began
 I only mean it for the best
 I want to be with you any way I can
 ♪
 I've been in a brawl
 Now I'm feeling the wall
 I'm going 'way, baby
 I won't be back 'til fall
 High on the hill
 You can carry all my thoughts with you
 You've numbed my will
 This love could tear me in two
 I wanna be with you in paradise
 And it seems so unfair
 I can't go to paradise, no more
 I killed a man back there
 You think, I'm over the hill
 Think, I'm past my prime
 Let me see what you got
 We can have a whoppin' good time
