God Was In The Water lyrics

Bonnie Raitt - God Was In the Water
(Randall Bramblett/Davis Causey)

God was in the water that day
Pickin` through the roots and stones
Trippin` over sunken logs
Tryin` not to make his presence known

God was in the water that day
Wadin` in careful steps
Bubbles risin` from his feet
Comin` up from the muddy depths

Castin` out a line
Castin` out a line to the shadows
Castin` out a line but no one`s biting

I am at my pitiful desk
Starin` at he colorless walls
Wishin` I was any place else
Down into a dream I fall

Sittin` in a tiny boat
Driftin` on the mindless sea
And if I disappear
At least I`m floating free

Castin` out a line
Castin` out a line to the darkness
Castin` out a line but no one`s biting

God was in the air that day
Breathin` out a haunted breeze
Tryin` not to make a sound
Shufflin` through the dried up leaves

God was in the air that day
Circlin` like a drunken hawk
Sweepin` with a hungry eye
Over the ground I walk

Castin` out a line
Castin` out a line to the darkness
Castin` out a line but no one`s biting

Castin` out a line
Castin` out a line to the shadows
Castin` out a line but no one`s biting
