lyrics

Water's Edge
words & music Lynne Hanson

axe chops wood blade fells trees
liars cheat and lovers leave
you knocked me down
cut me to my knees

shot of courage kitchen knife
two timing man I took his life
he broke my heart
so I made him bleed

CHORUS
I'm digging in the dark
by the light of the moon
I'm digging for my life
sun will be up soon
digging to hide what I done
as my lover lies dead
I'm digging six feet down
by the water's edge

tattered dress bloody hands
dirt covers my wedding band
I feel a cold sweat
running down my back

got no second thoughts no sinners mind
thoughts are of a different kind
there's no regrets
when a soul turn black

CHORUS
BREAK is verse form
moon sinks rooster crows
praying nobody ever knows
my unholy deed
down by the willow tree

as the sun rises songbirds sing
next life will be my reckoning
I know ... he'll be
waiting there for me
