LOW WATER LINE (male lead + female echoes, Oregon funk / highway blues arrangement) [Intro – low voices, sparse] Down by the low water line Where the driftwood sleeps Down by the low water line Where the fog runs deep Down by the low water line Where our shadows keep (oh, take me there) [Verse 1 – male lead, minimal] Rolled up slow past the rust‑red bridge Lantern in the bow Fog on the ridge You stepped on the deck with that half‑lit smile Eyes like the tide Had me stunned a while [female echo] Half‑lit smile Stunned a while [Pre‑Chorus – male lead] You said “Boy You look torn tonight” I said “Girl You’re the only steady light” You brushed my sleeve Said “Let the river decide Where we drift Where we run Where we collide” [female response] River decide Where we collide [Chorus – full band] Down by the low water line You turned my head Turned this worn‑out heart to a brighter thread You’re a wild twelve outta ten I swear Got me caught in your laugh And your salt‑tossed hair [female response] On your boat On your skin On your breath Pull me in [male lead] Down by the low water line You held my hands Turned this beat‑up night to a wonderland Every wave Every sway Every word you send Got me fallin’ Fallin’ Fallin’ again [female echo] Fallin’ again Fallin’ again [Verse 2 – male lead, dynamic pull‑back] We drifted past the dunes near Heceta Head Moon climbing up Stars overhead You leaned on my shoulder in the harbor glow Said “Stay right here Where the warm winds blow” [female echo] Stay right here Warm winds blow [male lead] Currents pulled us out past the jetty line You held me close Said “Boy You’re mine” Your breath carried peach on the coastal air Had the whole damn night Just waiting there [female echo] Coastal air Waiting there [Pre‑Chorus – rising] You said “Turn off your doubts Turn off your fear Turn this battered old boat To a cradle here” I dimmed the lights Let the shadows play You spoke my name Like a wave in the spray [female response] Turn it off Wave in the spray [Chorus – full band] Down by the low water line You turned my head Turned this worn‑out heart to a brighter thread You’re a wild twelve outta ten I swear Got me caught in your laugh And your salt‑tossed hair [female response] On your boat On your skin On your breath Pull me in [male lead] Down by the low water line You held my hands Turned this beat‑up night to a wonderland Every wave Every sway Every word you send Got me fallin’ Fallin’ Fallin’ again [female echo] Fallin’ again Fallin’ again [Verse 3 – stormy resolve] Past Coos Bay Where the storm winds rise You pulled off your coat With that fire in your eyes Feet on the rail Hair in the rain Said “Show me the truth Not the easy refrain” [female echo] Truth tonight Easy refrain [male lead] You traced your hand down my weather‑worn sleeve Said “This river’s ours If you choose to believe” Every soft Low word in the ocean air Had the whole tide waiting Hanging there [female echo] Choose to believe Hanging there [Bridge – emotional lift] Tell me Baby Are you real Are you dream?
