UNCLE TUPELO - HIGH WATER Lyrics

Try to face up to the blinding sunRacing for the final word to comeFacing up, it's hard to stay devoutI can see the sand and it's running outAnd it's running outWe quote each other only when we're wrongWe tear out the threads and move alongWe can't seem to find common groundI can see the sand and it's running outIt was only circumstancesBut it's the differenceIt gets in the wayNo race is run in this directionYou can't break evenYou can't even quit the gameThe current drags to the bottomA hemorrhage that moves us aroundIt pulls and beckons in a strong directionHigh water forever bringing us downI can see the sand and it's running outIt's running outIt was only circumstancesBut it's the differenceIt gets in the wayNo race is run in this directionYou can't break evenYou can't even quit the game
