The weather man he looks confused 
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do 
But you don't remember things like that do you 
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through 
 
Slow rivers run cold 
Shallow waters never sank so low 
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know 
You're a slow river and you run so cold 
 
The winter here don't believe in God 
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog 
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog 
But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got 
 
Chances are you'll reappear 
Swim my way in a flood of tears 
No place to hide your conscience so 
You're a sinking ship with no place to go
