Текст песни: Holding Water + перевод

Who said a little knowledge was a bad thing

Had better get on and learn some more

I’ve been sorting the wheat from the chaff

As I lie on your threshing floor

Stop your pulling at the heart strings, poking at the bad things

Ooh baby, yeah!

Your lying in the garden, giving me a hard on

You have yourself a fair affair, ooh baby yeah!

Now I’ve been swimming in these currents for a long while

But now your whirlpool is sucking me down

You treat me like a daughter, holding onto water

Make me feel like I’m going to drown

I take the first few steps onto dry land

Oh baby like an amphibian

Slithering through the shallows, crawling past the gallows

Of your mean old southern can

If change is the only constant, this change I cannot quell

I’ll have to take these changes in the eye

And now the resonance of this change has got me tolling like a bell

I’ll keep ringing out these changes till I die, ooh baby yeah!

Why did you keep on holding onto water

When you could see that you might put out my fire

Your freedom is essential, mine is existential

You never call me a liar, ooh baby yeah!
