mp3 link–>> Love is Thicker than Water

the lights came up, the stars bowed out
the day they laid his body down
out here on the end of town
and no one could recall

a word or a single note
from all those lines he wrote
no well dressed man would stand and quote
today day after the fall

but somewhere in a magazine
a fairy-tale or in between
there was a time when he would dream
more often than he’d want to

this waters deep, cold and wide
and I can’t feel the other side
my tears will fall to turn the tide
this love is thicker than water

on the dresser lay the note
for no one to find at home
the darkened room was all alone
the scene of one more crime

but you can’t turn the clock around
this whole damn world is upside down
and not one man can buy the crown
for a cost of dreams or dimes

outside the streets are filling up
and someone bangs an empty cup
let me up I’ve had enough
of all this dirt and dollars

somethings drifting back to me
from all the ripples I can see
your lips part and set me free
this love is thicker than water

this waters deep, cold and wide
and I can’t feel the other side
my tears will fall to turn the tide
this love is thicker than water
