I Can't Feel Anything But Water

lord i’m walking in the dark
i’ve sunk ten feet down
and i can’t feel anything but water

lord i’m not sleeping now
i’ve sunk ten feet down
and i can’t feel anything but water

lord i’ve prayed at the mission
i’ve read the book
the side door is open

lord i’ve taken the bread
i’ve sat on my knees
i have touched the holy water

why am i alone in the night
i’ve sunk ten feet down
and i can’t feel anything but water

why am i a gatherer of women
who hear not me talking
and leave me to question my being

lord i’m writing what is nothing
i’ve sunk ten feet down
and i can’t feel anything but water
i can’t feel anything but water
i can’t feel anything but water
