Lyrics Water in the Creek - Josh Woodward

Water in the Creek

I clung to a blindfold and a book
I couldn’t think, I couldn’t look
A car careening off the road
I spoke like a riddle, in a dream
My heart was pumping gasoline
I still was sleeping when i woke
My head, ran away, and then my heart
The whole caboodle fell apart
I didn’t notice I was gone
But now, there is music, there is light
There is laughter, there is sight
I am new, and I am strong
Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there’s water
in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
I thought I knew it all before
My cup was spilling on the floor
I had to pour it down the drain
Now I can fill it up anew
With something real, with something true
I’m standing naked in the rain
Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there’s water
in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
The beginner’s mind will see
That there’s a forest for the trees
And that we’re smaller than the sum of who we are
With a whisper or a shout
The voice will shake you in and out
And leave you empty as a midnight boulevard, ooh
Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there’s water
in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
