Treading Water
by Rusty Shipp

Album: Mortal Ghost

Intro
I'm alone in this world
Drifting like a lost ship at sea
The more I live the less I feel at home
Treading water just to keep from drowning

Verse 1
All creation 'round me groans
'Till the sea and all that's in it is undone
Something's nipping at my toes
Treading water till the angels come
Give me that ancient feeling
The kind of love that David felt
Shining through the jaws of holy war
I want to go behind the curtain
To where the golden cherubs dwell
Find something worth us fighting for
Yeah

Verse 2
Something in these endless waves feels dead
Cold and lonely as the stars
It's sad that some believe this liquid pendulum
Could put together someone's heart
If I find in myself a desire
Nothing in this world can fill
The only explanation left is I
Was made for another world

Breakdown

Verse 3
Give me that ancient feeling
The kind of love that David felt
Shining through the jaws of holy war
I want to go behind the curtain
To where the golden cherubs dwell
Find something worth us fighting for
Give me that ancient feeling
The kind of love that David felt
Shining through the jaws of holy war
I want to go behind the curtain
To where the golden cherubs dwell
Find something worth us fighting for
Yeah
