lyrics

Waterbound
Dirk Powell - Crying Bayou Music (BMI)
Used with permission
I went out late one night
Moon and stars were shining bright
Storm come up and the trees come down
Tell you boys I was waterbound

Wayterbound on a stranger shore
River rising to my door
Carried my home to the fields below
Waterbound nowhere to go

Carved my name on an old barn wall
No one'd know I was there at all
Stables dry on a winter night
Turn your head you can see the light

Black cat crawling on an old box car
Rusty door and a falling star
Ain't got a dime in my nation sack
Waterbound and I can't get back

Its I'm gone and I won't be back
Don't believe me count my tracks
River's long and the river's wide
I'll meet you boys on the other side

So say my name and don't forget
Water still ain't got me yet
Nothing but I'm bound to roam
Waterbound and I can't get home

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
