until the levee

Joy Williams

[Verse 1]
I see a ghost out on the water
I swear it has my face
I'm gonna drink the lonely down, the lonely down
There's trouble on the river
And whispers in the trees
I can feel it all around, all around

[Chorus 1]
I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna wait out past the shadows
And breathe the bitter taste
I'm gonna drink the lonely down, the lonely down
Let the current take me over
Let the ruin turn to white
I can feel it all around, all around

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache, the ache, the ache

[Bridge]
So go and let it break
Take all I can take

[Chorus 1] (x2)
