Water by Kevin Morby Lyrics
[Verse]
My body was sleeping
While my poor mind was dreaming
When they woke me up
I didn't know that I'd been screaming
[Verse]
And my old heart was pounding
For the devil had found me
Trapped me in a corner
Of my mind
[Verse]
And my legs were both shaking
From the pain they'd been taking
Picked my body up
And aimed for home
[Verse]
But these boots have seen better
Can't make sense of this weather
Rolling over me
Up in the sky
[Verse]
But I was warm like a fire
For I was full of desire
To hold on
To not let go
[Verse]
Thought of friends, thought of family
And all who surround me
Those enemies I danced with, so long ago
Let them know
[Chorus]
If you find water
Please call my name
Put me out like a fire
Cover me in rain
[Verse]
Thought of stars and the planets
Wondered how they could have planned this
And what were they thinking
How could they have known?
[Verse]
I felt small but full of pride
I felt tall for my size
My eyes were black
And fixed on the night
[Verse]
And your name just hung
From a song I had sung
There in the air
Suspended by beauty
[Verse]
There are words that get spoken
Oh, and lives they leave broken
Some stone breaks in half
And some stone shatters
[Verse]
But my speech had been fleeting
Like the company I'd been keeping
I never asked for their names
They never asked for mine
[Verse]
Just a polluted highway
Or a clouded skyway
I'm a mess, I confess
Now send me the maid
[Chorus]
If you find water
Please call my name
Put me out like a fire
Cover me in rain
[Verse]
Thought of stages with their singers
Oh, and painters with their fingers
I was strong like a horse
In carrying my song
[Verse]
To drop it off in some stable
When I was young I was able
To never turn around
To never look behind
[Verse]
To grow old, to grow distant
Like a mare in the distance
Bothering no one, so let her live
Until she dies
[Verse]
Picture lilies, picture willows
And a wide open window
To a room with a view
And both of us laughing
[Verse]
Just children, so young
Oh, at least, in the scheme
With our hair still there
And you keep my teeth clean
[Verse]
I sing, “Who is my creator?”
Not my mother, nor my father
But before the universe burst
Wide on open
[Chorus]
If you find water
Please call my name
Put me out like a fire
Cover me in rain
And if you find water
Won't you call my name?
Put me out like a fire
Cover me in rain
My body was sleeping
While my poor mind was dreaming
When they woke me up
I didn't know that I'd been screaming
[Verse]
And my old heart was pounding
For the devil had found me
Trapped me in a corner
Of my mind
[Verse]
And my legs were both shaking
From the pain they'd been taking
Picked my body up
And aimed for home
[Verse]
But these boots have seen better
Can't make sense of this weather
Rolling over me
Up in the sky
[Verse]
But I was warm like a fire
For I was full of desire
To hold on
To not let go
[Verse]
Thought of friends, thought of family
And all who surround me
Those enemies I danced with, so long ago
Let them know
[Chorus]
If you find water
Please call my name
Put me out like a fire
Cover me in rain
[Verse]
Thought of stars and the planets
Wondered how they could have planned this
And what were they thinking
How could they have known?
[Verse]

Put me out like a fire
Cover me in rain
