Andrew Calhoun - Water Street

Water Street

Chorus:
Someday I will walk down Water Street,
Far among the noble fields;
Someday I will walk down Water Street,
Far among the noble fields.

It’s a pleasant street to walk by,
Starts at the edge of the edge of town;
It’s a pleasant street to walk by—
The kind of street I don’t walk down.

Whiskey dogs my father’s footsteps,
Hot guilt blinds my mother’s eye;
I am weak and I am lonely,
I have only one long try.

One light shines to the edge of Water Street,
Each remembered, none forgot;
We are called from the end of Water Street:
“Gather here, and suffer not.”
