Returning to the Living Water

(Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale)this traveling on the inside

can be a harder journey

escaping from the dark side

unanswered questions burningsome parts are hard to look at

from the other end of a telescope

beyond where it's too sad

past to where there is no hopereturning to the living waters

mothers and fathers

sons and daughters

returning to the living waters

just a few more miles or so

while we're talking soul to soul

now here we gothere's still some ground to cover

while rain washes spirits clean

just starting to discover

what life is like getting freeclose to the oasis

where manna from heaven falls

passing sacred places

before i could recall
