Hell or High Water - Steve Walsh

Rain falls, falls down

From the sky like tears

From the eyes of those who’ve stared too long

At the sun, and it’s clear

The deaf, the dumb

And the blind feel more

Not the soul we try to satisfy

But the rest we ignore

Beguiled in spirit, many years

I squandered, now I surrender

Tears that beckon as the storm begins to blow

Each night begins and darkness yawns

I lie there holding back the dawn

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, don’t let me down (No)

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, I don’t want to drown

Dark sky, dark moon

Dark comes too soon

And the closer you get to locking up that

Door, in the room

She sits by that door (She sits)

He spits on that floor (He spits)

And the nameless spend another night with

The creeper in that tomb

Oak leaves falling, another year

On stones in the river, then they disappear

This guilty soul’s the last to know

The boy in blue is long and low

And wandering, wandering back to you, oh

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, don’t let me down

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, I don’t want to drown

Do you know me, did you love me

I don’t think I know myself

If you knew me you could love me

Again, yeah

There’s blood on my hands, I’m like a dead man

The fool’s paradise I don’t talk about anymore

This thing called war, this thing called war

Will things ever be like they were before

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, don’t let me down (No)

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, I don’t want to drown

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, don’t let me down

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces

Hell or high water, I don’t want to drown (I don’t want to drown)

Hell or high water
