drowning elvis

dead in the water

circles on the mooring each day

the murmuring loons across the bay

where i used to walk the surface with you

pull me under

i've been dreaming

dead in the water

looking for a reason to stay

to usher out the current in your wake

when i used to walk the surface with you

pull me under

dead in the water

which only makes it harder to say

i'm a messed up cowboy jesus

you're the horse who gets away

and i used to walk on water with you
