Joy Williams Lyrics
"Until the Levee"

I see a ghost out on the water
I swear it has my face
I bend and drink the lonely down, the lonely down

There's trouble on the river
And whispers in the trees
I can feel it all around, all around

I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks

I'm gonna wait out past the shadows
And breathe the bitter taste
I'm gonna drink the lonely down, the lonely down
Let the current take me over
Let the ruin turn to white
I can feel it all around, all around

I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache, until the levee
Until the levee on my heart breaks

I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache, the ache, the ache

So go and let it break
Take all I can take

I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee
Ohhhhh
Until the levee on my heart breaks

I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee
Until the levee on my heart
Breaks
