"Sweetwater" lyrics

It doesn't feel like I'm asking for too much
The water is sweet
My time is short
It doesn't feel like I've lost all my touch
Ground under my feet
I've got my fort

You've let me down
You lied through your teeth

Gave all I had had I known who I had not to trust
The oil is rust
Our time is short
All of my family my love on your wing turned to dust
The water is mud
The place of my trust

And you let me down
Lied through your teeth

Left me for dead
Left the world to swallow me up
Up on the edge of the end
It's a buffalo jump

I feel it coursing through my veins
Short side of a wicked, cheated game

I guess that's how things go now
I guess that's how things go now
But I've felt better before

Oh, we've been trying a little hard
But that's alright, we're alright
Oh, graduating from the ring
And outta sight - like those summer nights
