The Pond Runneth Over (Remastered)

[Verse 1] I just threw a big one back, till I see her again Moon on the muck sludge, rain in the wind and Me and the stilt in the dark, can still see the grin Grail full to the brim, hands cold, heart steady The pond kept looking back, like it knew me already [Pre-Chorus] Slack line, then it tightens Like a wire in my chest Something deep is waking And it will not rest A pull in the dark water A pull through my skin I lean a little closer And let it draw me in [Chorus] The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Bail up, line low Let the water show The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Fin flash, tail turn I let the whole thing burn [Verse 2] Mud on my boots and the reeds bent low Moonlight laid a path where the still waters go Time got slow as a church bell stone Every ripple spoke soft in a language unknown There was something in the silence, old as the pines Something in the bottom that remembered my kind [Pre-Chorus] Now the line is singing And the rod bows down I can feel that deep one Turning the ground What I came here chasing Has been waiting all night And I am only half my own When it comes into sight [Chorus] The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Bail up, line low Let the water show The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Fin flash, tail turn I let the whole thing burn [Bridge] I could fight this water Pull it hard and bare Or I could hold my breath And trust what lives there Not every grasp is wisdom Not every hold is kind Some things ask for reverence Some things ask we mind [Final Chorus] The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Bail up, line low Let the water show The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Fin flash, tail turn I let the whole thing burn The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Hands open now I lay my pride down low The Pond runneth over The Pond runneth over Peace in the deep I let it go
