Lyrics: Water In The Ground — CATHERINE MACLELLAN (2024)

Take a Break

I worked in the fields all day

I didn’t stop once not even to complain

Yeah, I worked next to you all day

No wonder I didn’t complain

If you want to take a break, take a break

If you want to keep going we’ll keep going straight

If you want to take a break, take a break

Take a break…

No, I never worked so hard in my life

Never felt so tired, felt so right.

No, I never worked so hard in my life

Never felt so tired, felt so alive.

If you want to take a break, take a break

If you want to keep going we’ll keep going straight

If you want to take a break, take a break

Take a break…

You know I could do this till kingdom come

Working all day next to my hon’

Yeah, I could do this till kingdom come

But we only have to do it till the work is done.

If you want to take a break, take a break

If you want to keep going we’ll keep going straight

If you want to take a break, take a break

Take a break…

Water in the Ground

I’ve been waiting for you here

No, I don’t have to fear that you won’t arrive

I’m going for a drive all around the world

When I return I will be your girl

I’ll be your girl

All the snow will melt into the stream

Leading me back to where I want to be

Right by your side watching as the leaves

Pour out of the trees, everything’s alive

Everything’s alive.

Chorus:

I never could have guessed you’d be the one

Two separate worlds coming undone

Tie ‘em up together round and round

Water from the heavens pouring in the ground

I’m taking you with me

When I have to go, you’re not a memory,

You’re in my heart, you’re in my mind.

It’s just a bit of time we have to spend apart

I never could have guessed you’d be the one

Two separate worlds coming undone

Tie ‘em up together round and round

Water from the heavens pouring in the ground

Soon I’ll be back in your arms

And I’ll give you anything you need

I’ll whisper hold me till I’m warm

Hold me till I am the air you breathe

Please, please, please….

I never could have guessed you’d be the one

Two separate worlds coming undone

Tie ‘em up together round and round

Water from the heavens pouring in the ground

Hotel Stairs

I’ve been waiting for you in my own way

Everything was through when you came

That’s when we stood, as long as we could

At the top of those hotel stairs

Your voice was warming up my heart

Tore down those walls, shone a light in the dark

It’s more than it seemed, it was just like a dream

At the top of those hotel stairs

Now everyone is dreaming, I’m awake somehow

Now my heart is screaming “Come here now,Come here now, come here now...”

We left the awards for the party

Got out of there by the morning

Needed to sleep, stole us some keys

Then we climbed up those hotel stairs

Now you’ve gone back to my old home

I’ve gone back to my new one

But I’ll be with you soon, I’m making room

For the love found on those hotel stairs

Now everyone is dreaming, I’m awake somehow

Now my heart is screaming “Come here now,Come here now, come here now...”

Isabel’s Song

You are a dream of love, truly

You have my heart and my heart has me

Darling, I don’t quite know where to start

I love you, you have my heart

If I could give you just one thing

It would not be a diamond ring

It would not be something that money could buy

I’ll give you this heart of mine

I don’t know what I would do without you

My life has changed, it’s true

There is no going back after you, Love...

Ask what you like and I’ll do what I can

I’ll hold you tonight, won’t let go of your hands

These hard years lie now in the past

For I see that our love will last

I don’t know what I would do without you

My life has changed, it’s true

There is no going back after you, Love...

Something Gold

Jesus said he loved me so

I believe that, you know

Sure I believe in the ghost, I believe in the sun

I believe that we all were holy once

But now our sins are catching up

From our father’s drinking cup

To the oldest of wines that we pour from the flask

The things that we should but we never do ask

I think my sister’s got it right

Follow through and don’t lose sight

Of all the things that kept you safe as a child

And brought you back from the edges of wild

If I ever learned a thing

It was that my own wedding ring

Was made of metal that I can not break

When I took it off my poor heart it did ache

But that metal can be melted down

And bad love, it can turn around

It can turn up a brand new street of it’s own

And turn into something sweet, something gold...

All Those Years

That old log home, tucked beneath that hill

It stands there still but it’s someone else’s now

And the ghosts of my past just drift on alone

Every clear summer’s night, we’d stare in awe at the stars

All the ones you couldn’t see in the city at any time

And the sound of those nights sure had rhythm and rhyme

But all those years, They melt down into tears and into laughter

Memories of before and some from after.

After you.

And all those dreams that we would dream togethernow are fading

Yeah we would talk together, yes we’d daydream

All those years.

We never stayed in one place, we just couldn’t stick around

It’s in our blood it seems, No we can’t tie ourselves down

Go from home to home and town to town.

Well I don’t want it back, All the things we knew but still there’s something

That I can not work through, Was it all for nothing?

All those years

So I’ll leave this here, Bury all these chains and all this madness

Remember in my heart I’m glad I had this

All those years

Set This Heart on Fire

I’m gonna sit right down and put my pen to paper

I’m gonna sit right down and make myself a list

I’m gonna make a list and your names gonna be on it

I’m gonna make a list and thank you for what you done

Yes, I’m gonna thank you for what you done

I ain’t gonna forget it

I’m gonna thank you for what you done

And set this heart on fire

I’m gonna set this heart on fire

It’s gonna burn so bright

I’m gonna set this heart on fire

And bring this world some light

I’m gonna go outside and plant myself a garden

I’m gonna go outside and dig deep in that earth

I’m gonna dig deep in that earth, You reap just what you sow

I’m gonna dig deep in that earth and set this heart on fire

I’m gonna set this heart on fire

It’s gonna burn so bright

I’m gonna set this heart on fire

And bring this world some light

All Our Sorrows Drown

If all I had to give you was this little song

I would hope that you would know that’s all we need to carry on

But as the sun sets lower and the days slow down

You’ll be gone to where you’re going, I’ll be stuck here in this town

Yeah, I’ll just be hanging around

Here I go again, my heart out on the line

I’ve been at least once or twice and I’m not afraid of trying

So maybe you could love me and we could last a while

Two hearts marching to one beat and walking many miles

But all the leaves have fallen

All the trees are standing cold

Wanna hear you calling

Wanna see you walking back to me

Soon the sun will warm me and I’ll lay on thick, fresh grass

And hear the sounds of your footsteps approaching me at last

I’ll throw my arms around you, and pull you to the ground

And we will laugh ‘til that sun sets and all our sorrows drown

But all the leaves have fallen

All the trees are standing cold

Wanna hear you calling

Wanna see you walking back to me

Not Much To Do (Not Much To Say)

I’ve got a feeling that I gotta stop all this grieving

You let me down but now I’m healing

I ain’t a dog for you no more

My voice has been choking,

But that’s just me, I’m very soft spoken

And when my heart’s a little bit broken

Not much to do, not much to say

Not much to do, not much to say

Would’ve been yours till the end of days

Not much to do, not much to say

You gone off, but here I stay

Summer has been calling

At first it felt wrong but I was just stalling

Wanted to the snow to keep on falling

But now I’ve got my red dress on

Kick off my heels, I’m going dancing

I don’t need your love, don’t need your chances

I’m doing just fine, don’t need you asking

Not much to do, not much to say

Not much to do, not much to say

Would’ve been yours till the end of days

Not much to do, not much to say

You gone off, but here I stay

Again from the Start

I have been on so many long roads

Friends come along but must leave you alone

If I could go back, I don’t think I would

Time goes by so fast when everything’s good

Money’s a chaser, pain is a tool

My head’s a prison, my heart’s a fool

The sun shines on good days and even on bad

Sometimes the sweet rains were all that I had

I don’t have love, just memories of love

And cruel imitations that set me on fire

Well I keep on running from heart to heart

Every time beginning again from the start

Lend me a hand, here on these dark days

We’ll dig in the soil and we’ll dance for the rain

Well I see things are growing and soon we will feast

And we’ll waltz around the sleeping beast

I don’t have love, just memories of love

And cruel imitations that set me on fire

Well I keep on running from heart to heart

Every time beginning again from the start

Everything’ll Be Alright

All of our days, racing away

You gotta be somewhere, or I gotta be somewhere

But all of our hours spent here together

Just like precious jewels we dig from the earth

Well, don’t you worry anymore

We’ll let the rain fall, we’ll let the sun shine

And everything’ll be alright

You keep on saying that you just don’t know

But if we knew everything life would be boring

So I’ll guard my heart and still let you in

Cause you bring me so much joy that I can’t replace

Well, don’t you worry anymore

We’ll let the rain fall, we’ll let the sun shine

And everything’ll be alright

I don’t need all of you, I just want to love you

Find a little place to hide away

Give ourselves a few days and when we’re good and ready

We’ll come back to the city and start again...

Well, don’t you worry anymore

We’ll let the rain fall, we’ll let the sun shine

And everything’ll be alright

Flowers on Your Grave

Flowers on your grave

I wish that I could stay

A little while with you

I’ll tell you all the news

All the new things born

How time can heal some wounds

How laughter is the cure

It fills our empty rooms

I won’t forget all the good things you gave us

For now let’s pretend that you never left...That you never left

Lightening in the sky

The trees are blowing wild

My heart is in this ground

My tears they burn like fire

I’ll tie a little string

Round the stone that bears your name

A token from my hands

To show you that I came

I won’t forget all the good things you gave us

For now let’s pretend that you never left

I won’t forget all the good things you gave us

For now let’s pretend that you never left...That you never left
