The Water’s Edge Words & Music by J.M. “Dago” Marchellino 5/11/05
Chorus: Take me down to the water’s edge Cause I need a place to hide I’m wounded and weak, I’m tired and cold And I’m running out of time There’s blood on my hands, I killed a man And I know the noose is tied But I ain’t giving up and I ain’t backing down Gonna stand my ground and I ain’t coming back Alive…..
1. Running through the darkness Hear the sirens, see the lights Never thought I’d find myself In a jam like this tonight Was it good or real bad timing Guess he thinks I won’t be home Hear the screams of the girl I love She’s alive, he’s blood and bone Now I hear the dogs, they’re coming after me And I guess that’s just the way it’s gonna be And they say I got to pay for what I’ve done But tonight I do my talking with a gun…..
Chorus: Take me down to the water’s edge Cause I need a place to hide I’m wounded and weak, I’m tired and cold And I’m running out of time There’s blood on my hands, I killed a man And I know the noose is tied But I ain’t giving up and I ain’t backing down Gonna stand my ground and I ain’t coming back Alive…..
2. My ears still ring, smell the smoke and blood As I try to catch my breath The magnum leaves a nasty hole And a quick and ugly death Looking down at this empty head When I realize what I see This piece of shit’s Sheriff Billy’s boy He’s always hated me
Page 2 Now I hear the dogs, they’re coming after me And I guess that’s just the way it’s gonna be And they say I got to pay for what I’ve done But tonight I do my talking with a gun…..
Chorus: Take me down to the water’s edge Cause I need a place to hide I’m wounded and weak, I’m tired and cold And I’m running out of time There’s blood on my hands, I killed a man And I know the noose is tied But I ain’t giving up and I ain’t backing down Gonna stand my ground and I ain’t coming back Alive…..
3. My Baby’s hurt, too shocked to speak So it’s up to me alone I hold her close, say my last goodbyes Then I grab the telephone The ambulance is on the way Stuff my pockets full of shells They’re the hunters, I’m the prey I’m gonna take ‘em all to Hell Now I hear the dogs, they’re coming after me And I guess that’s just the way it’s gonna be And they say I got to pay for what I’ve done But tonight I do my talking with a gun…..
Chorus: Take me down to the water’s edge Cause I need a place to hide I’m wounded and weak, I’m tired and cold And I’m running out of time There’s blood on my hands, I killed a man And I know the noose is tied But I ain’t giving up, I ain’t backing down Gonna stand my ground and I ain’t coming back Yeah I ain’t giving up, I ain’t backing down Gonna stand my ground and I ain’t coming back No I ain’t giving up, I ain’t backing down Gonna stand my ground and I ain’t coming back.
