Banks Of The Deep End lyrics

Artist  : Gov`t Mule 
Song : Banks Of The Deep End
 


on the banks of the deep end
where your soul
is your best friend
searching for a
reason
to go astray
wild dreams turn to
nightmares
silver clouds turn to golden
stairs
and everything that you used to
know
is slipping away

here i've got my
puzzle-piece
only got it for a short term
lease
no time for asking
no going back to
get hurt
i take a little from the
mixture
try to fit it into the picture
got
a place where you're standing
dig your shoes
into the dirt

trying hard to get
back
runnin' on the stones
put you on my
shoulders
we can be the only one
see the
world's still spinning 'round
gettin' dizzy
when we look

there's a reason to be
home
there's a feeling when you smile
but
it feels like it might take over
this feeling
deep inside
and there's a distance down the
line
far away from the station
we can leave
it all behind
on a rolling creation

sit
away from the window
and lock the
door
can't you learn from the last time
and
the time before
see the world's still spinning
'round
gettin' dizzy when we look

got
to leave town
to see the yellow flowers
bloom
sun going down
it's gonna be rising
soon

on the banks of the deep
end
twisted as a riverbend
searching for a
reason to go astray

you couldn't hire
twenty-five men
to do what the man could
do
just the sound of his walking
could
split the whole damn town in two
into the
night full of shadows
he still walks when the
thunder rolls
this river ain't
shallow
reminds us that the bell still
tolls

bears in the kitchen
tigers on
tv
the singer's pretending
that this song's
for me
see the world's still spinning
'round
gettin' dizzy when we look

you
took a wrong turn
down by the waterline
i
heard they had to drag you off the sand
find a
dune and the wind will miss you
hold on to a
piece of dry land
got to hold on to a piece of
dry land
got to hold on to a piece of dry
land

on the bands of the deep end
where
i lost my best friend
searching for a reason to
go astray
