Heavy Is The Water
Words and Music by David Elias 3/28/96

Em C
Heavy is the water
D Em
Blank is the stare
Em C D Em
We are congregated in these moments of despair
Em C
Heavy is the water
D Em
Heavy is the rain
Em C D Em
As we try to gather round these moments that remain

Heavy is the meaning
That we are forced to face
It looked you squarely in the eye
And put you in your place
Heavy is the meaning
Of loss to those who loved
And watching from a distance while they carry on above

Heavy is the mourning
Halfway to the grave
Daughters sons and lovers
And those who never came
Heavy in the evening
From whiskey rye and song
You talked about it all night
It passed you and was gone

Heavy winter whispers
The sorrow and the pain
Flowers in the river
And water down the drain
Heavy winter whitening
Erasing all below
You ask me where it's going
I tell you I don't know
