On the shore as the night is slipping through my hands
I fall into the sea like the empire built on the sand
I've been thinking 'bout the days when we had no money
That photograph of you, well, it still seems funny
Gotta get back to the promised land

So, don't walk away love
There's never enough that could make me crash on the broken glass
Let the storm rage, I'd die on the waves
But I will not rest while love lies dead in the water

Dead in the water
In the water
Dead in the water

I'm waiting for the calm as the storm is getting under my skin
I'm trying to fix the hole in my head where the rain gets in
It's dripping in my ear and it don't sound funny
Gonna take you out when I get some money
Trying to get it back to the promised land

So, don't walk away love
There's never enough that could make me crash on the broken glass
Let the storm rage, I'd die on the waves
But I will not rest while love lies dead in the water

Dead in the water
In the water
Dead in the water

So, don't walk away love
There's never enough that could make me crash on the broken glass
Let the storm rage, I'd die on the waves
But I will not rest while love lies dead in the water

There's never enough that could make me crash on the broken glass
Let the storm rage, I'd die on the waves
But I will not rest while love lies dead in the water
Dead in the water
In the water
Dead in the water
