Head Above the Water

from Glitter or Dust by Kaurna Cronin

/

lyrics

Crawling over white lines
pawning what I need
placing all my bets
while I'm on a losing streak

Put it all upon pursuits
that can satisfy the whole
knowing now, how success
don't lead to happiness

I'll do what I can do
I'll do what I have to, I will try
to keep my head above the water
to keep my feet upon the ground
I'll do what I have to, I'll do what I can
to keep me from sinking to the sand
to keep my head above the water

Would you play the good bars
for whatever's in the hat?
money comes and leaves on the breeze
but we've no need to talk about the weather

I'll slow dance on fast road
count my losses on a dream
watch the stars bright, they turn to white
while I'm turning green

I'll do what I can do
I'll do what I have to, I will try
to keep my head above the water
to keep my feet upon the ground
I'll do what I have to, I'll do what I can
to keep me from sinking, to the sand
to keep my head above the water

Try to change a bad world
with a line lost in a song
you'll loose a dozen lovers
it ain't hard to lose a lover

Would you get yourself a desk job?
Could you pay yourself a wage?
everybody's got a dream or two
nobody dreams to fade

I'll do what I can do
Yeah, I'll do what I have to, I will try
to keep my head above the water
to keep my feet upon the ground
Yeah, I'll do what I have to, I'll do what I can
to keep me from sinking to the sand
to keep my head above the water
