"Love Is Muddy Water" lyrics

Love Is Muddy Water

Sparkling lights like diamonds
Along the river shore
Seems like nothing's changed at all
Since I was here before

Been through some stormy weather
Somehow I survived
I've had my share of heartaches
Love is still alive

Love is
Muddy water
You can't see the rocks below
Love don't
Always take you
Where you think you
Wanna go

There ain't no
Way of knowing
Which way the tide
Will flow
Love is
Muddy water
You have to take it slow

Somehow I miss the mark and
Hit the shallow and run aground
And sometimes love it starts to fade
It's lost and can't be found

Upon the storms and rocky shores
Sometimes it's hard to steer
You'll find the love you're looking for
When muddy waters clear

You know, love is
Muddy water
You can't see the rocks below
And love don't
Always take you
Where you think you
Wanna go

There ain't no
Way of knowing
Which was the tide
Will flow
Love is
Muddy water
You have to take it slow

You know, love is
Muddy water
You can't see the rocks below
And love don't
Always take you
Where you think you
Wanna go
