Текст песни: Touch the Water + перевод

Well, I waded out about waist deep

Popped the top with tears on my cheeks

And spread out your ashes

Just like you asked me to

Well, nobody knew me like you did, son

Leave it to you to still have a little fun

Knew how I hated the water

Now you have me soakin' wet

You were baptized here on the river bank

Your mama cried and we gave God thanks

It’s where I taught you to bait a hook and catch a fish

You always said this was your favorite place

And where you wanted your soul to lay

I still feel you here, I still feel like a father

And I come down here and touch the water

Well, today’s the day you would have turned eighteen

The mail finally came with your class ring

So I’ll leave it for you here buried in the sand

Every now and then, I still come and take a swim

Wash off the world, the places I’ve been

Talk to you through the willow trees, the waves, and the wind

You were baptized here on the river bank

Your mama cried and we gave God thanks

It’s where I taught you to bait a hook and catch a fish

You always said this was your favorite place

And where you wanted your soul to lay

I still feel you here, I still feel like a father

And I come down here and touch the water

The thought of you never growin' older

Is like the weight of the world on my shoulders

I could try to move on, but I don’t even bother

I still feel you here, still feel like a father

And I come down here and touch the water

Well, I waded out about waist deep

Popped the top with tears on my cheeks

And spread out your ashes

Just like you asked me to
