Hart, Beth - Hiding Under Water Lyrics






Heaven don't want me
Heaven don't fool me
No one will understand
And it's all right
I'm feeling these changes
Everybody is strangers
No one will give a damn
And I guess that's life

You say you got a feeling
You figured out the writing on the wall
And angels on the ceiling
Don't come to you when you call
So you found your own religion
And searched your heart for something more
Still naked in the kitchen
Trying to wipe yourself off of the floor

No I won't take you for granted
These broken arms can hold you
No I won't take you for granted

You say it don't matter
You're living loud and living long
And hear the phony laughter
Echoing on and on
I'm hiding under water
I pray to God wash me away
Can't hear the child's wonder
My innocence got hushed along the way

No I won't take you for granted
These broken arms can hold you
No I won't take you for granted
No I want leave you abandoned
This broken heart can love you still
No I won't take you for granted

And you don't say a word
Inside I know
And you don't say that it hurts
Tonight killed slowly
All the love in the world
Won't let you let go
Let you let go now

Hold on your soul will rise again
I know that it will
Hold on your soul will rise again
I know that it will
Hold on your soul will rise again
I know that it will

Maybe heaven will want me
Maybe heaven won't fool me
Maybe someone will give a damn
And I'll have a life
You say you got a feeling

Hart, Beth Hiding Under Water Comments
  1. M.... C....

    When was this concert, anyone know? She is amazing!

    M.... C....

    Hey Michael, this was an awesome gig performed in May 2004 in the city of Amsterdam (The Netherlands/Holland). This amazing venue called Paradiso, is situated in an old Church with balconies and very characteristic stained glass windows. The radiant light from these windows combined with the amazing sound quality makes this venue one of the most magical ones I have ever seen. I'm very fortunate being able to have seen the most wonderful performances in Paradiso. If you ever get the chance... Go and see one of your favorite bands here! The crowd is always amazing and the atmosphere is magical! Cheers, Jan-Willem (The Netherlands)

  2. s.... m....

    Beth, you are a living legend! Love your piano, Love your guitairist's Love your music, but the best your voice Naked and Clean shuts me up every Time. this is the best recording of this Song (not in qualaty but in feeling)

  3. R.... C....

    I read most of these public comments and agree 100% percent. She is not a Janus Joplin. She is unique and every song she sings she relates too. You can't sing like that if you have never felt the pain. I love her because it is said that music is the window to the soul and she touches mind with every note and every word. Thank you Beth for keeping it real. I have been through what you have and the struggle is real!!!

  4. e.... r....

    Best singer in the world ! !

  5. D.... P....

    Going to bed with her Best Friend, it happend while they both don't want it. She wrote this Song about it, she doesn't know how to react, after it. So Hiding Under Water is what she felt and wrote about it. A Wonderful Song, I Guess....

  6. O.... S....

    mostroooooo!!!!!!

  7. A.... F....

    God given talent.  Hands down my favorite artist.

  8. N.... ....

    Wow💗😍

  9. U.... S....

  10. T.... R....

    Heaven don't want me

    Still naked in the kitchen

    Can't wait to see you now. 2 times isn't enough🖤

  12. K.... F....

    Wow.....

  13. D.... N....

    The only problem with discovering Beth Hart is finding thereafter that a lot of other music/bands sound(s) very... empty... in comparison... not that they aren't good, not that you don't like them anymore, they just seem to need... more, somehow, After Beth, than Before Beth.

  14. K.... F....

    Massive talent

  15. S.... B....

    I was known in circles of southern charm
    Banned from cities where I killed myself again
    Took a hand that mattered over classic fire
    Worn out books and poems left on the floor
    Some demons never find a home or a place
    To sleep, ya those muther fuckers…

    Saving a jesus from a black book in
    A bad hotel, she loved me twice before
    Stealin’ my cash, we all become pawns and cons
    In some silence of an end
    What was it for anyway my old friend?

    Heaven called me home before I even took a drink
    Trade away my vodka for some dirty wings?
    Give into what was once a beautiful Love Affair?

    72 hours I wandered in that jail cell
    Listening to Mozart in my head, with the water
    Coming in thru windows, under the doors…

    I am godless today, I am a faithless idiot
    I drink the sunlight in…

    Forgot what words meant to thee, my soul
    Sleeps close where a tomb was made
    My flowers to one day grow in wounded earth
    Nothing feels stranger than the drowning of it all
    Wrote words in black in that beach sand
    Turned my head away to dream of nothing
    ,,nothing but the sorrow
    …nothing but this sorrow.

  16. t.... o....

    AWESOME WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY????????????????????????????????LOVE YOU BETH

  17. D.... P....

    Fantastic !!!!!

  18. T.... ....

    The most emotional song and performance. Thank you.

    BETH HART Lyrics

  20. E.... E....

    γαμάτη!!!!

  21. t.... d....

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT

  22. �.... �....

    τι λες τώρα...

  23. Z.... B....

    BETH HART, is truly one of the greatest composers, performers, inspiring people of ALL TIME...... We all owe her SO MUCH for the Courage she has shown in her songs and in her life....... WE NEED TO RESPECT THAT MUSICIANS DON"T GET ANY MONEY FROM YOUTUBE........ if watching this show touched you...... THEN YOU NEED TO RESPECT HER and BUY THE DVD....... Sure you can still watch it on YouTube,,,, that is fine,,,,  but let us ALL remember that the GIFT of this musician,,,,,, that she has given us heart and soul,,,,, still does not put groceries on the table..... unless we support her by BUYING HER CD's/DVD's....... or just sending her a check with a thank you note.....   As soon as I saw the very first song from this show, I KNEW, I had to buy the DVD out of love and respect....... it is the very least (literally) you can do, and we all owe her.Her music, her words, and the courage she has lived her life with, have so inspired me (saved my life)..... How could I (or any of us) ever repay this.  HOW.... 1) Buy her CD's or send money.  2) Love and look out for each other.I think that would make Ms. Hart happy.

  24. D.... B....

    Noooooo singer, songwriter, performer has had this effect on my want and need to listen to on a daily basis.

  25. G.... P....

    l listened, I cried, I fell in love..

  26. H.... ....

    I first saw Beth as an opening act for someone in Las Vegas in 1999 or 2000. I've been hooked on her since. This song, this whole concert, was amazing! It made "going to a concert at The Paradiso in Amsterdam" be put onto my bucket list. If you don't yet have a copy of the "Live from The Paradiso" DVD then get one now!!!!!!!! The Zeppelin cover & "Delicious Surprise" were my other favorites from this show.

    H.... ....

    HeatherSVideos1 and the main act you forgot? That's what Beth does to ya 😉

    H.... ....

    Thomas Kolen : No, I remember who the main act was. I just don't care to mention that person. =)

  27. D.... R....

    light dark that girl has been some ....

  28. E.... A....

    My heart, my soul, it sinks when I hear this, yet it still beats. Beth Hart is a warrior who has risen above it all time and time again.

    I can hear The BUFFY SAINT MARIE influence here. . I wonder if Beth knows it.

    I can hear The BUFFY SAINT MARIE influence here. . I wonder if Beth knows it.

    C.... W....

    @Christine Walters i think she has a song with similar name,nt sure....she also does a lot of covers from the 50s & such

    C.... W....

    Yep !!! Love'em all . . .Buffy, Janis, Beth, Panda Ross and Gail Page. There's no doubt about it, I should be the talent judge of the world. Viva The Divas !!! Oh Baby yeah !!

  47. A.... N....

    This entire concert is the BEST concert I've ever seen, Beth Hart doesn't just sing music, Beth feels and is the essence of music. Thank you Beth Hart, please tour the US, you have so many fans here who appreciate your music. Xoxo

    A.... N....

    Spot on.  She is the shit.  Heading to CT and Philly next week to see Beth and, yes, I can't wait!

    A.... N....

    I agree!

  48. B.... Y....

    She is a great song writer but her vibrato kinda gets on my nerves.

    B.... Y....

    Dammit Gumby! It was JUST an opinion."My" opinion which (odd as this is) "EVERYBODY has One" and you know what they say about assholes...

    B.... Y....

    ps I would never download on the Internet. 

    B.... Y....

    @Aghiles Le Rieure just noticed what u said...back in "my day" I had to go into a studio & pay real live musicians to cut a demo & was given a reel to reel. The cassettes made LIVE never stood the test of time. Have a gunny sack full though. bahahaha

    B.... Y....

    @gford816, Aghiles Le Rieure & GranP...If you kiddies want to hear how real singers really control the vibrato check out Bonnie Bramlett/ Delaney & Bonnie And Friends(That's What My Man Is For) - YouTube
     & Rita Coolidge Superstar (Live At The Fillmore East/1970) - Joe Cocker - Google Play Music. Then say sumpin' else.

    B.... Y....

    *I only read one line you my dearee need some blue cheese strain...

  49. M.... D....

  50. W.... ....

  51. C.... H....

    Listened to this so many times on repeat and it never becomes any less powerful. It's been a long time since a piece of music has done this.

  52. a.... ....

    We have become accustomed to mediocre singers on the radio. That when you hear a true artist it makes you cry and appreciate them more. Thank you Beth for your enormous talent. One of the best that I have ever heard.

  53. D.... T....

    And I thought music was dead. Thanks Beth!

  54. T.... B....

    We are truly Blessed to have a voice with such power in our lifetime!

  55. m.... j....

  65. L.... ....

    Not really sure what it is about a singer with a quaver that draws me in so quick, but I know talent when I hear it and I hear it in every note! I cannot believe Beth isn't being played everywhere! How in the world do all these "AutoTune" queens get all the attention and this Artist that is overflowing with talent, stage presence and passion be flying under the radar? Thank you Scott F. for turning me onto such an awesome Artist!

  66. r.... y....

    just buy de dvd

  67. J.... L....

    The sad state of music fans would rather worship a madonna remake who wears a meat dress rather that a true talent who pours every bit of herself into her music. Beth is amazing!
