Waterline Songtext
von Dog’s Eye View

Well I′m walking with my father's ghost
He′s talking to me
He says, "I'm sorry, it's so hard to be free"
He says, "I knew you when you were so young
And you will never know me
Except for pictures you might find
From when you were three or four or five"

Down at the waterline
I′m at the waterline tonight
I′m at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight


Now I′m talking with my sister
Who swears she knows you well
She says she hears you in her hallway at night
She says that sometimes she can smell you
But not me, I have to make you up
From the smallest clues I can find
Me, I have to dig you up
From the corners of my mind

Down at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight
I′m at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight

Well I built this boat for you, my friend
And now you′re not here to get in
Well I'm wondering, should I let it go?
Should I see if I can swim?
You know I'm standing with this boat I built
Well there′s water to my knees
I thought I might find you here
But it looks like it′s just me

Down at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight
I′m at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight


Well I′m walking with my father's ghost
And he′s talking to me
He says, "I'm sorry"
