Wait Songtext

von Over the Rhine

Wait for the sound of the water dog
To call up the ghosts through the cracks in my past
Make the hair raise on my skin
Tonight we'll settle in
Into a promise that I've held fast

Life is a beauty that's mocking you
She's a river to drown in while singing the blues
Let the backstroke pull you in
On your lover you descend
Leaving your mark without leaving a bruise

Make the sound
That I need you to
Hit the ground
Like it's haunting you
Come around
Like you're dying to
Then wait…

Wait for the sound of the water dog
To call up the ghosts through the cracks in my past
Make the hair raise on my skin
Tonight we'll settle in
Into a promise that I've held fast
