Lyrics Waterline - Lloyd Cole

Waterline

Well, it used to be everything was fine
Everything I saw was mine
All I had to do was write it down
You’d just be there with your perfect frown
I made up my mind
I traded holy water for cheap wine
And I ran out of time
It used to be everything was fine
Everything I saw was mine
One fine day, you might say
That I threw it all away
Because I made up my mind
I traded holy water for cheap wine
And I ran out of time
Or something that I can’t define
I traded my whiskey for your wine
Leaving my river running dry
And a waterline
You might say I wasted my time
You might say, well, I don’t mind
I ran out of time
Or something that I can’t define
I traded holy water for cheap wine
Leaving my river running dry
Leaving just a waterline
