Wild And Wasted Waters

Strange things happening in the land.
Strange things happening in the land.
Wars going on
Hold our heart to mourn
Strange things happening in the land

Wild and wasted waters
Strange things happening
Wild and wasted waters
Wars going on
Wild and wasted waters
Strange things happening
Have come to carry me, carry me on.

Carry me on, my mother's prayers
Carry me on, my mother's prayers
Dark waters have come to carry my cares
So take me on my mother's prayers

Don't you leave no candle to burn
Don't leave no candle, to burn
I leave with the waves, 'neath the stern
Don't you leave no candle to burn

Wild and wasted waters
Wild and wasted waters
Wild and wasted waters
Have come to carry me on

I'll leave with the evening on my breath
I'll leave with the evening on my breath
You'll find my letters when I've left
I'm gonna leave. The evening on my breath

I won't remember the fires of home
Won't remember the fires of my home
My homeless bones churn them ragged stones
I won't remember fires of my home

Wild and wasted waters
Wild and wasted waters
Wild and wasted water.
Have come to carry me on

May the sickness of my heart be told
May the sickness of my heart be told
Let it bleed out in the coffee shop and stagger in the road
May the sickness of my heart be told

Wild and wasted water
Wild and wasted water
Wild and wasted water
Have come to carry me

Carry me on, carry me on
Carry me, yes, on
