Spirit on the Water

Spirit on the water
Darkness on the face of the deep
I keep thinking about you baby
I can't hardly sleepI'm traveling by land
Traveling through the dawn of day
You're always on my mind
I can't stay awayI'd forgotten about you
Then you turned up again
I always knew
That we were meant to be more than friendsWhen you are near
It's just as plain as it can be
I'm wild about you, gal
You ought to be a fool about meCan't explain
The sources of this hidden pain
You burned your way into my heart
You got the key to my brainI've been trampling through m'ud
Praying to the powers above
I'm sweating blood
You got a face that begs for loveLife without you
Doesn't mean a thing to me
If I can't have you
I'll throw my love into the deep blue seaSometimes I wonder
Why you can't treat me right
You do good all day
Then you do wrong all nightWhen you're with me
I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
What does it matter
What price I payThey're braggin' about your sugar
Brag about it all over town
Put some sugar in my bowl
I feel like laying downI'm as pale as a ghost
Holding a blossom on a stem
You ever seen a ghost? no
But you've heard of themI see you there
I'm blinded by the colors I see
I take good care
Of what belongs to meI hear your name
Ringing up and down the line
I'm saying it plain
These ties are strong enough to bindNow your sweet voice
Calls out from some old familiar shrine
I got no choice
Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mindI could live forever
With you perfectly
You don't ever
Have to make a fuss over meFrom East to West
Ever since the world began
I only mean it for the best
I want to be with you any way I canI been in a brawl
Now I'm feeling the wall
I'm going away baby
I won't be back 'til fallHigh on the hill
You can carry all my thoughts with you
You've numbed my will
This love could tear me in twoI wanna be with you in paradise
And it seems so unfair
I can't go to paradise no more
I killed a man back thereYou think I'm over the hill
You think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time
