well i'm walking with my father's ghost
and he's talking to me
he says, "i'm sorry its so hard to be free"
he says, "i knew you when i was so young
and you will never know me
except for pictures that you might find
from when you were three or four or five"
down at the waterline
i'm at the waterline tonight
at the waterline
at the waterline tonight
now i'm talking with my sister
who says she knows you well
she says she hears yuo in her hallway at night
and sometimes she can smell you
but me, i have to make you up
from the smallest clues i can find
me, i have to dig you up
from the corners of my mind
we're at the waterline
at the waterline tonight
we're at the waterline
at the waterline tonight
i built this boat for you my friend
and you're not here to get in
i'm wondering should i let it go
and see if i can swim
yeah, i'm standing with this boat i built
with water at my knees
i thought that i might find you here
but it lokks like its just me
here at the waterline
at the waterline tonight
the waterline tonight
i'm walking with my father's ghost
he's talking to me
he says "i'm sorry"
