Letra Banks of the deep end Gov'T Mule

Banks of the deep end

living on the banks of the deep end
not going to sell to the safety corps
staying at the edge of the river bend
watching the boats going past the shore

living on the banks of the deep end
where the floods come up just once in a while
sitting on the shore with an old friend
with the lights in the boats all going by

this is what we came to see
the water runs over the plain
but we can't see down to the bottom
and we can't sail in the rain

walking alone by the side of the river
wather's cold and it's flowing on
trying to keep my feet on solid ground
but I'm at the deep end looking down

I know it's hard to see but even so
feels like something to believe
see the river take the country down
seems the surface flows upstream
