Tide was low and the waves were thin Marie and I had fought again Our words became a battlefield Right or wrong I would not yield The rain came down as our tumult grew 'Til I boarded ship and left her blue Pulled the lines and sailed away Storm surge rose with a lightning quake Oh, let the warm winds blow Everglades City to the Texas Coast Hurricane whippin' up whitecap foam I lost my baby in the undertow Thought my boat could ride the wake But without my love I was bound to break I'd face the darkness down below My fate was sealed as the thunder rolled Oh, let the warm winds blow Everglades City to the Texas Coast Hurricane whippin' up whitecap foam I lost my baby in the undertow My bones were drenched as it took me down Flotsam sank to the sandy ground A flash of light through clouds of red As I caught a glimpse of what was left A clarity from the murky chill My hardened heart now soft and frail Too late to undo what I'd done My pride cost my life and my love (Ah-ah-ah) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Ah-oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh, let the warm winds blow Everglades City to the Texas Coast Hurricane whippin' up whitecap foam I'm lost and drowning (In the undertow) Forgive me baby I'm lost and drowning in the undertow

Hey there, friend, are you at your end In this highway-gas-pump town The road is rough, but keep it up Don't take the short way out In this human race, it's hard to face When we can't quite see the route If you've had your fill, let me take the wheel On the long way down They can promise me eternity But we end up in the ground So take good care of your neighbors here On the long way down There's still a couple thousand miles ahead I can read the signs One way, no return There's no left or right All catastrophes can come The clock is winding round But until I'm through, I'll be here for you On the long way down On the long way down

You took the credit when I did the work I made you feel better, then you questioned my worth Well, it's not first time it's happened And I'm tired of understanding All the reasons why I should just let it go You built your precious bubble, on the stabbed backs and rubble And I think it's time that someone let you know You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Spit out the bits and build me up again You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Then back to normal, we're best of friends It's not your fault, it's always mine Should've been more careful to read your mind Let me say congratulations, for solving the equation To a problem only you alone perceived When you wake up in the morning And you're looking in the mirror Do you see the void that's staring straight at me You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Spit out the bits and build me up again You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Then back to normal, we're best of friends Maybe it's my failure That I stayed so long Maybe you're in trouble If you think this is your song (Yeah) You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Spit out the bits and build me up again (Again, again, again, again) You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Then back to normal (Back to normal) You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Spit out the bits and build me up again (Again, again, again, again) You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Then back to normal (Back to normal) You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Spit out the bits and build me up again (One more time guys) You're a Black hole taking your toll Crushing my spirit and swallow my soul Then back to normal, we're best of friends (Friends)

(One, two, three, four) Getting by in a concrete sty I traded angels for the subway lines Had my shot at paradise But missed the world, aiming for the stars Silver screen used to fuel my mirage Escalating expectations, ‘til I couldn’t climb I took my loss, left that cross Seasons turn and so will I And all I see is clear I bid good riddance to my fears ‘Cause I know what it means to heal that dis-ease To trust yourself and the change it can bring Rising sun my guiding light With one less missing piece inside I found my heart in an east riverbend Don’t have to pretend I am alive I am alive And all I see is clear I bid good riddance to my fears ‘Cause I know what it means to heal that dis-ease To trust yourself and the change it can bring Now I know what it means To feel that true peace Letting go of pain We all need Water flows, a long-lost friend Filled my soul don’t have to pretend I found my heart in an east riverbend Don’t have to pretend I am alive (Alive) ‘Cause I know what it means to heal that dis-ease To trust yourself and the change it can bring Now I know what it means To feel that true peace Letting go of pain We all need release
