Lyrics

Deep Water (aka Nothing Without Love)
    by Jewel Kilcher


When you find yourself falling down
Your hope's in the sky
But your heart like grape gum on the ground

And you try to scrape yourself up
But you keep seeping out like cheap gin through a broken cup
And you try to find yourself
And the abstractions of religion and the cruelties of everyone else

And when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall

Well it's these little times
That help to remind
It's nothing without Love
Love, Love
It's nothing without Love
It's nothing without Love

And you realize your only friend has never been yourself
Or anyone who cared in the end
And you try and you see yourself leaking out
And the only one who liked you is yourself anyway

That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away
Cuz the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've made
Sacrificed our pride
Sacrificed our health
We must demand more
Not eachother
But more from ourselves

Cuz when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall

Well it's these little times
That help to remind
It's nothing without Love
It's nothing without Love
It's nothing without Love
