The Water from Three Songs by Katie Mullins

I’m afraid of the water, I’m afraid of the deep
I’m afraid of the water, and the secrets it keeps

And what do you start with, after seventeen years
Were we ever finished, was it ever real

I have an idea, and it makes me feel new
I get rocks in my stomach, when I tell it to you

And maybe it’s pleasure, who stole my joy
And maybe it’s freedom, who took the boy

But it’s highly unlikely, they’re gone for good
The water is rushing, the water is good

I go down to the water, I go down to the deep,
I go down to the water, and the secrets it keeps

And do you feel settled, surrounded by books,
And the creative hustle, and maintaining your looks

And maybe it’s you, who opened so wide,
And maybe it’s me, who stepped aside

I go down to the water, I go down to the deep,
I go down to the water, and the secrets it keeps
