On The Waters

Bread On The Waters Lyrics
1.Why Do You Keep Me Waiting

Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting?
What, my love, are you contemplating?
Time goes by still you never bat an eye,
Tell me why, my love, do you have to stay far away?
Late at night while I lay asleepin',
Pale moonlight through my window weepin',
I see you in a color fantasy, cover me
Why, my love, do you have to fade away,
Have to fade away? Why my love, won't you tell me
Why, my love, do you keep me waiting? Why, my love,
Are you hesitating? Time goes by, are you waiting
For another day? Tell me why you think
Time will never fade away?


2.Make It With You

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.

Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to

I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

No, you don't know me well,
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
If you believe the things that I do.
And we'll see it through.

Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

4.Look What You've Done

You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.

There is some one you ought to meet;
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.

Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed;
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.

Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back; finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.


5.I Am That I Am

Here I am children
Go where I go
Don't ask why children
Know that I know

He say I am that I am
I am has sent me to you
He is I am that I am
And he says what I must do

Follow me children
Don't cry no more
You will be free children
That's what I'm for


6.Been Too Long On The Road

Always look so good on the outside
When you get to believin' it's true,
Then you know that you're on your way
People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky
You've got ev'rything you want, but you don't
Yet you dare not say
Go downtown people runnin' around
They climb slowly draggin' you downtown,
Horns make a dent in your mind
Plush rooms make a blindin' your eye to see,
Blindin' me. Light, lovely light,
Won't ya' shine in my window
Love, precious love won't ya' fill ev'ry room,
Been too long on the road.
Maybe cynics veins are my life blood
Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed so I'll try
Try to understand what it is that devours your freedom,
Makes you drop what you used to hold in your heart.
All the things you planned
Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares,
Like the devil she does,
What comes ever into your mind?
Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room,
Oldest gloom. Warm, won't you be,
Please be there in my winter.
Love, precious love won't ya' come full circle,
Been too long on the road.
How can I do this to myself?
Have I taken leave of my senses?
What kind of changes make a man
Want to tear down all his fences
Whoa, I'd like to know. Home ever home,
How could I ever doubt you
Love, precious love, how could I live without you?
Been too long on the road.


7.I Want You With Me

Day breaks around me;
I've lost another night's iife.
Now it's as clear as it can be;
I want you with me.
Echoes surround me;
Shadows of things that once were.
They seem to say it so easy.
I want you with me, want you with me,
Want you with me, and I need you by my side.
I need you with me; my heart is pinnin' for you,
Soon I'll be back and then you'll see,
With you I want me.
I want and need you by my side.


8.Comin' Apart

We're, we're comin' apart again
We're goin' back, back to the start again.
Don't, don't talk about right or wrong;
We closed our eyes, and our time was gone.

Time, time is life, and life is time.
I'm takin' yours, and you are takin' mine

Don't, don't take it too hard my friend,
Cause I, I take it to heart my friend.
There's, there's something in time again
That heals all of the pain that's been.

Time , time is life and one must choose;
You've taken more out of me than you'll ever hope to use.

Time n' time again, I've told you so.
You've taken more from me,
And it's time for me to go.


9.Easy Love

Easy love, she's just a part of the day.
Easy love, she comes to give it away.
Easy to find her; any line will bind her.
What was her name. Easy to quit her
No, she won't be bitter; alI in the game
Easy love, she's got a present for you
Easy love, got nothin' better to do
Yesterday's lovers slide beneath the covers.
Why do they hide? What does it matter?
Love and idle chatter all for the ride.


10.In The Afterglow

Here in the afterglow of what we've done,
What remains here in the after show
Of what we've seen.
Is it strange to be falling away now
Or would you say we should have known
It would end this way and both of us turn to dust.
We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies
We got over our head and never realized
How, when or why.
But now as I sit reflecting on your face
In my hand
Now I can see your picture helps retrace
All the steps we took, places we went to,
Thoughts that we tried, tripping along
On a love we never understood with no guide.
Many things were taken for granted all along
Firm foundations never were planted
All went wrong.
We fell down, and broke in a million pieces,
We couldn't put it all together,
We couldn't put it all together again


11.Call On Me

Call on, call on me.
When you can't find a feeling inside,
And You think that there's no place to hide,
You're gonna see call on me.

Call on, call on me.
When you find that you need to be found,
And you start to come looking around
You'll come to me call on me.

If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time that we made some connection, come on call on me.

If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time for a mid-course correction, come on call on me.
Won't you call; won't you call on me?


12.The Other Side Of Life

So as you go to find yourself,
Don't look too hard,
You may pass yourself by,
Reaching too high,
Wanting the other side of life.

And as you go to take your place,
Don't go too fast,
Just pretend there's no end,
Make yourself last
Till the other side of iife.

One day you'll find
Your restless searching at an end,
You'll think the world has changed
But it's just you my friend.

So as you go to please your heart.
Please take your time,
Someone's waiting there too,
Waiting for you
On the other side of life.

She's waiting for you
On the other side of life.
