Over the Rhine - Wait lyrics

Wait for the sound of the water dog To call up the ghosts through the cracks in my past Make the hair raise on my skin Tonight we'll settle in Into a promise that I've held fast Life is a beauty that's mocking you She's a river to drown in while singing the blues Let the backstroke pull you in On your lover you descend Leaving your mark without leaving a bruise Make the sound That I need you to Hit the ground Like it's haunting you Come around Like you're dying to Then wait… Wait for the sound of the water dog To call up the ghosts through the cracks in my past Make the hair raise on my skin Tonight we'll settle in Into a promise that I've held fast
