The Water Is over My Head

The Water Is over My Head - Eddie Hodges

Written by：Al Kooper/Irwin Levine

Well I walked to the river

Just to ease my troublin' mind

And I thought about leavin'

This cardboard world behind

My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door

Leavin' nothing more than me

And now the water is over my head

And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead

And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack

But I'm in too deep and there ain't

No turnin' back

No no no turnin' back

No no no

Ah the breeze in the trees just

Whisperin' Louise today

Ohh no

And you can take back your rib

'Cause I'm really not made of clay

My ice cream dreams have just melted in the night

I'm not standing here to fight the tide

And now the water is over my head

And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead

And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack

But I'm in too deep and there ain't

No turnin' back

No no no turnin' back

No no no

Well everybody's tellin' me that

This is wrong and that ain't right yeah

But that can't be

Because I saw the sunshine last night

My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see

Oh there's nothing left of me to see

And now the water is over my head

And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead

And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack

But I'm in too deep and there ain't

No turnin' back

No no no turnin' back

No no no

Turnin' back

No no no

Turnin' back

No no no

Turnin' back

No no no

Turnin' back

No no no
