Water’s Edge Lyrics by Floodlights

From a View

2020

[Verse 1: Louis Parsons]
An isolated life he lives
People passing by with problems only he can fix
And now it's me who’s caught within the sticks
Stories bleed as tinkering rings out
The light begins to fall asleep as we all sit around
The sense of something out there grows so real
And I know, I can feel

[Verse 2: Louis Parsons]
At the water's edge where the river runs high
Corrugated road and a thousand cane toads
Heat on the land like fever
Different roads like veins
The mind dreams further and deeper
Into the black and past your reach
Feel something move, but nothing's changing
You’re out of reach, but not out of sight

[Verse 3: Louis Parsons]
"The country's strong out here," he warns
Don't you go where you don't belong
Or you'll feel it somewhere you didn't know you had
Don't do no wrong
Different lines cross in the sand
New directions at stake
Can't you see the dust in your hand?
Don’t let it tumble, don’t let it break

[Chorus: Louis Parsons & Ashlee Kehoe]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) That's what he said
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) That’s what he said
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) That's what he said
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) At the water's edge

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Louis Parsons]
That's what he said
That’s what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
