lyrics

Wide eyes on a Saturday night
Watching the stars compete with fire light
As the water settles into its own
And cattails are standin’ upright

Oh, oh, oh - lords of the water
Oh, oh, oh - it never gets old
Oh, oh, oh - the world don’t matter
To this child, curious and bold

Dad built this house with his own hands
But time, it flows like sinking sand
My growth notched on the foundation wall
So much I don’t yet understand

Oh, oh, oh - lords of the water
Oh, oh, oh - it never gets old
Oh, oh, oh - the world don’t matter
To this child, curious and bold

The trees held secrets only a
12-year-old would know
The southern wind whispered promises
of never letting go
never letting go

When I feel like I’ve lost myself
And can’t think of anything else
I send my heart to the lake
And leave my cares on the shelf

Oh, oh, oh - lords of the water
Oh, oh, oh - like searching for gold
Oh, oh, oh - when the world didn’t matter
To this child, that I used to know
