Water in the Barrel
You'd never notice there's a war
Being here behind the reservoir
The fog it settles in this way
That turns roads below to seas of gray
The fog has got into my lungs
I brought my eldest up
To keep me young
But the smoke was rising high
Into the air
And it caught us unequipped
It caught us unaware
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
There was something off
About this place
Still we figured
We'd put down our stakes
It didn't matter what we burned
Nothing warmed us
Like we knew it should
But the soot was my hands
And on my face
But the walls, the roof, the floor
It only made a cage
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
We woke and headed for the shoals
Cooked some trout right inside the coals
I still can smell the cedar smoke
Perfect way that it burned my throat
And she said you're
The destination and the source
So stop your spin
And set your wild course
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
Being here behind the reservoir
The fog it settles in this way
That turns roads below to seas of gray
The fog has got into my lungs
I brought my eldest up
To keep me young
But the smoke was rising high
Into the air
And it caught us unequipped
It caught us unaware
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
There was something off
About this place
Still we figured
We'd put down our stakes
It didn't matter what we burned
Nothing warmed us
Like we knew it should
But the soot was my hands
And on my face
But the walls, the roof, the floor
It only made a cage
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
We woke and headed for the shoals
Cooked some trout right inside the coals
I still can smell the cedar smoke
Perfect way that it burned my throat
And she said you're
The destination and the source
So stop your spin
And set your wild course
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
The water in the barrel holds so still
But when the plug is pulled
It's ready for to spill
