High Water Songtext
von Uncle Tupelo

Try to face up to the blinding sun
Bracing for the final word to come
Facing up is hard, but we stay devout
I can see the sand and it′s running out
And it's running out

We quote each other only when we′re wrong
We tear out the threads and move along
Can't seem to find common ground
I can see the sand and it's running out


It′s only circumstances
But it′s the difference that gets in the way
No race is run in this direction
You can't break even
You can′t even with the game

A current that drags to the bottom
A hemorrhage that moves us around
It pulls and beckons a strong direction
Our water forever bringing us down
I can see the sand and it's running out
And it′s running out

It's only circumstances
But it′s the difference that gets in the way
No race is run in this direction
You can't break even
You can't even with the game
