Down to the Water, lyrics
by Diane Patterson

I know a man, he seeks only the bad times
He seeks the bad in every human interaction
But they say eventually that we get what we’re asking for
And one way or another, you’re gonna find what you are looking for

Why not go down to the water and fill your cup?

I met a woman, she doesn’t understand love
She thinks love is made for everyone who thinks like she does
She thinks love is a contract between a male and female
But love is deeper than the ocean, it covers a lot more ground than that

Why not go down to the water and fill your cup?

There are good-meaning people, they’d lock us up to save our souls
They’d lock us up in jail cells, idiologies and paradigms
But a healthy soul is free to be
And a group of free souls, we call a community

Why not go down to the water and fill your cup?
