McMorrow, James Vincent - Rising Water Lyrics






We're in it now, everybody knows
What I've become
Truth is I never once was sad
For what I've done
It's like a game where everybody dies
And has no fun
Still I want to play even if I end
Back where I've begun

Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere

What happens now?
It's your lucky day
It's your lucky day
So write it down
Guess we're gone astray
Guess we're gone astray
I wish I cried
It's your lucky day
It's your lucky day
It wasn't mine
Guess we're gone astray
Guess we're gone astray

Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere

When I wake, realize you were gone
So I sat at the edge of the lawn
Days go by, still no sign of your ghost
Never call, never write, it's a loss

Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
You make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere

  43. C.... ....

    Masterpiece

  44. C.... J....

    The grain train with all my companies and property it dominos I am entitled to because I am the last of the Vlad bloodline and I am a ray of light. So the HiLees and Big Mac attacks need to get mental health treatment Bcs the many say I am right on @Target @TheSands the typos

  45. C.... J....

    IP like the tree of life/ letters to Belfast at the old Dunn bro's at the smith Douglas house. I told Shuster thru my skills abt the Underground Railroad as the spirits connected with me there. She kicked me out and capitalized on it Bcs of the Sting....I told her abt the fields of gold just like big daddy sensed in the dome home but out of luck out of time and no help. Nobody ever helps in this county or when you run out of fuel on the way to Duluth when John and Christian are in town. And on

  46. C.... J....

    Realty and a copier salesmanJerry now @McDonalds. Computer heads stolen from my fathers briefcase as he was the man at Control Data that took down all counterfeits and protected that IP with his life... All u need is the head and the chip to build a motherboard....right Philip? U had the 2nd Mac created. Every computer company started by ripping of CDC. It funded and fuel Time Warner paragrine Paragon and exfinity and the system says don't disturb this groove...right geek squad. U get everyones

  47. C.... J....

    No damage. I am the victims of something unprovable in courts and @GovernorDayton should be polygraphed as well as other city and county officials Bcs I will volunteer to be... I have been honest as the day is long while everyone plays the name game. I only trust @Epredix of AUS to proctor the results as we know all about @Synectics and @GE barring the bodies about Jonathon. An old friend @TonyaKlotz was paid as a youngster to destroy the watergate on it. That was driven by a Fleetwood @Eberhart

  48. C.... J....

    Marry me as the city administrator hacks my phone/ texts thru chaska. Net isp which breaks into the county court systems Westlaw access and PIG knows a password and his way around that. Video killed the radio Starr with peppered airwaves just like @BigDaddy of PPAD saw was happening to my son thru his Apple iPhone. And I miss my dogs....my photos....jewelry....belongings have been totally violated and after my @hitandrun2 in @hopkins I get framed for one at Arby's in chaska? No disco...there was

  49. C.... J....

    See the house in chaska decorated in @Princes honor... More sad I can't even see a movie after my boy leaves in the morning Bcs @Lifehacker ruined my car rental reservation. I love this townhome but the @Jonathon @Tesla cabling is intensifying my pain and it's not healthy to be here. Like Prince I'm stuck in the palace of no release. This business in chaska is serious and dangerous and nobody is paying attention to it but me. It will be my demise. I understand the tax payers built that curling

  50. C.... J....

    Like every other concept I have like Steele for example the venture folks with the power and money make it happen. It's Christmas, I prayed for a miracle but again nothing... I have about a week to figure out how to keep it together b4 I get hit with the rising water when I should be dancing with the stars aka like minds and making gr8 things happen to the best of my ability ... But here I sit at home alone trying to figure out how I'm gonna pull off Xmas by morning and feel so sad I can't go

  51. C.... J....

    Tribute concert is a hub used for this @Lifehacker funded by venture capitalist and Catholic priest Paul Jarvis of 3M who worked w/ woz who is now working there under a name like Andy Busted. Bcs I have had surgical instruments left in me I will never climb Mount Fuji. But as @Prince says its how much of your mind is left baby... My IP/ with uncle Prince will change the world but everyone who has used thier skills to telepathically connect on Escape Club for this huge idea has not come thru so

  52. C.... J....

    Fortune that is rightfully mine Bcs I have the right DNA. I'm tired of being a lab rat for biomed, I'm worried about BK and Mr Mustache and I've tried to use Twitter to send out an SOS and cry for help as every aspect of my life has been hacked.. I'm fighting Wells for thousands syphoned out of my account. I can't survive a week without it. I found IP online this would happened Barrie's in Enron Notes- I like research. Also I learned that the house Joshy rented during the week of the Prince

  53. C.... J....

    The gals that went to Florida. Naturally I'm no VIP just a Gypsy... Trying to get thru this thing called life. The obstacles have been insurmountable and seem insane but very wise intuitive and the archdiocese have confirmed I have been cursed, broken, used for experimental hypothesis in Germany and Puerto Rico by stark. My car has been smashed w/ no heat, garage door smashed so there is no escape and can't get car out. My family history scares me and I want to run away from it despite the

  54. C.... J....

    Family w/ Justin. He proven to me that he is quite wise, in the wrong biz and I'd like to connect him w/ #RB . But it appears he is in Switzerland again like the rest of the world following this never ending scandal I'm trapped in to look like a bad girl. This is what they call @TheBeverlyHillBillys @BlackGold @TexasTea w/ 3 lemons on the trip Sara R wanted to take #route66 . I'm very happy my family cld not afford to send me to the #padreislands as a sr @aha and that I didn't get jiggy w/

  55. C.... J....

    This song intoxicated me at first listen. I planned 3 c @JamesVincenhMcMarrow @FirstAve with a guy named Brandon...I was really looking forward to it but something happened w/ my dear friend Shannon that I miss dearly and I never heard from him again. Perhaps it was a sign that @Elvis look a likes were not the correct path. She knows about a cpl twinkler S I dig and the baby daddy scene. She was going inward as she is an energetic sponge like me. She needs her own place to recharge and raise her

  56. M.... C....

    Because you make me feel alive
    In spite of rising water

  57. D.... ....

    absolutely stunning <3

  58. F.... J....

  72. R.... d....

    I fell inlove with this song after I heard this several times on the a local radio station. I downloaded the whole album and I enjoy listening to it. But watching this video made me understand the meaning of the song and how it made me feel sad to lose someone you love the most especially when that someone is only one you can hold onto and carry you in spite of rising water of sorrow.

  73. Z.... K....

    yup, shed a tear on this one
