When the Water Gets Too High Lyrics

Maybe I am down and too lonely to have my friends around
There's no laughter in this part of town
I've seen my best years walk by
People have a habit of leaving me
And if you're looking for trouble you'll find it here
I really don't know where to begin
But lord I'm trying

Stay the hand that stops the tide
Stop the wheel that spins the sky
Could I be worth saving in this state of mind?
Could you pull me out when the water gets too high?

Not so long ago, those close to me should have known
That I was strung out on a low
This broken man lies bleeding
How could I explain that I wanted to live?
When it took all my time just to breathe back in
Could you remember me in some other way?
If I did anything that could be remembered

Stay the hand that stops the tide
Stop the wheel that spins the sky
Could I be worth saving in this state of mind?
Could you pull me out when the water gets too high?
