Gov`t Mule Banks Of The Deep End Lyrics

Banks Of The Deep End Lyrics

on the banks of the deep end
where your soul is your best friend
searching
for a reason
to go astray
wild dreams turn to nightmares
silver clouds
turn to golden stairs
and everything that you used to know
is slipping
away

here i've got my puzzle-piece
only got it for a short term
lease
no time for asking
no going back to get hurt
i take a little
from the mixture
try to fit it into the picture
got a place where you're
standing
dig your shoes into the dirt

trying hard to get
back
runnin' on the stones
put you on my shoulders
we can be the only
one
see the world's still spinning 'round
gettin' dizzy when we
look

there's a reason to be home
there's a feeling when you
smile
but it feels like it might take over
this feeling deep
inside
and there's a distance down the line
far away from the
station
we can leave it all behind
on a rolling creation

sit away
from the window
and lock the door
can't you learn from the last
time
and the time before
see the world's still spinning 'round
gettin'
dizzy when we look

got to leave town
to see the yellow flowers
bloom
sun going down
it's gonna be rising soon

on the banks of the
deep end
twisted as a riverbend
searching for a reason to go
astray

you couldn't hire twenty-five men
to do what the man could
do
just the sound of his walking
could split the whole damn town in
two
into the night full of shadows
he still walks when the thunder
rolls
this river ain't shallow
reminds us that the bell still
tolls

bears in the kitchen
tigers on tv
the singer's
pretending
that this song's for me
see the world's still spinning
'round
gettin' dizzy when we look

you took a wrong turn
down by
the waterline
i heard they had to drag you off the sand
find a dune and
the wind will miss you
hold on to a piece of dry land
got to hold on to a
piece of dry land
got to hold on to a piece of dry land

on the bands
of the deep end
where i lost my best friend
searching for a reason to go
astray
