Waterline by Krista Detor Lyrics

WATERLINE
© Krista Detor and David Weber, Cover Their Eyes

House on the hill with the windows bare
Rock the baby and smell the air
Dust and wind and a rod divine
Rock til I find the water line

Rock the baby and watch the signs
Eyes to heaven, no cloud to find
Walk the land with a rod divine
Walk ‘til I find the water line
Until I find the water line

CHORUS:
Heaven and hell and the mortal coil
Heaven and hell and the dusty soil
Heaven in the water like a diamond mine
Walk ‘til I find the water line

Call the witches and count to three
Bring the rain, come trinity
Light the flame and pour the oil
Fill the kettle, the fire to boil
Bring a feather and a piece of twine
Drop of blood and a dandelion
Baby’s breath and a lover’s tear
Dance the water on back to here
Dance the water on back to here

Heaven and hell and the mortal coil
Heaven and hell and the dusty soil
Heaven in the water like a diamond mine
Dance ‘til I find the water line
It might be trouble and might be sin
Chalk a circle and step right in
What the preacher don’t know can’t hurt him, friend
Didn’t bring no rain those holy men

‘Cause the world is dry and the crops are gone
And the babies cry while the sun shines on
And the man I love in the bottle fell
And I might be headin’ to the preacher’s hell
But the man I love left with the rain
And the preacher can’t bring ‘em back again…no..

Heaven and hell and the mortal coil
Heaven and hell and the dusty soil
Heaven in the water like a diamond mine
Heaven and hell and the mortal coil
Heaven and hell and the dusty soil
Heaven in the water like a diamond mine
Rock ‘til I find the water line

Rock the baby and watch the signs
Rock ‘til I find the waterline
