There's a shadow coming As the sky goes black It's a stubborn rain On a Nebraska plain There's a farmer standing On a thirsty ground He holds his breath This is life or death It's only water And it washes over me Like a single river stone Changes everything But has no power on its own It's only water There's a winding canyon Where a mountain stood Miles of earth and clay Carried far away But there's something holy In these cathedral walls They took a lot of years And a lot of tears It's only water There once was a wedding All the wine was gone They said He's just a man That's where it all began It was only water
