Shallow Water

Man lies dead by the side of the road,
roadkill flat, still and cold,
hunters moon glowing in the skies,
4 short hours before sunrise.

Lifes not great and lifes not long,
cold highway stretch on and on,
one mistake is all it takes
some guys never hit the brakes.

Shouldve followed another path, shouldve stayed for another laugh and cry
Chased by another dream caught in a different beam

Drowning in shallow water, shining like a mirror and a spoon,
At the dark side of the bay, sitting on the dockside of the moon.

Dead man sits at the edge of the sea,
harbours sharp deep memories,
one small step is all it takes,
some guys never get the breaks.

Pale light burns through the breath below,
whalers moon reflects the soul,
sea lies still and the harbours wide
calling, calling, come inside.

Shouldve followed another path, shouldve stayed for another laugh and cry
Chased by another dream caught in a different beam

Drowning in shallow water, shining like a mirror and a spoon,
At the dark side of the bay, sitting on the dockside of the moon.
