the water

• bir elimde sigara, digerinde sarap, guzel bir yaz aksamustusunde kendimi soylerken buldugum harika parca. ellerine saglik. sozler:
  
  all that i have is a river
  the river is always my home
  lord, take me away
  for i just cannot stay
  or i’ll sink in my skin and my bones
  
  the water sustains me without even trying
  the water can’t drown me, i’m done
  with my dying
  
  please help me build a small boat
  one that’ll ride on the flow
  where the river runs deep
  and the larger fish creep
  i’m glad of what keeps me afloat
  
  the water sustains me without even trying
  the water can’t drown me, i’m done
  with my dying
  
  now deeper the water i sail
  and faster the current i’m in
  that each night brings the stars
  and the song in my heart
  is a tune for the journeyman’s tale
  
  the water sustains me without even trying
  the water can’t drown me, i’m done
  with my dying
  
  now the land that i knew is a dream
  and the line on the distance grows faint
  so wide is my river
  the horizon a sliver
  the artist has run out of paint
  
  the water sustains me without even trying
  the water can’t drown me, i’m done
  with my dying
  
  where the blue of the sea meets the sky
  and the big yellow sun leads me home
  i’m everywhere now
  the way is a vow
  to the wind of each breath by and by
  
  the water sustains me without even trying
  the water can’t drown me, i’m done
  with my dying.
