I Fell in the Water
John Anderson · Country Legends: John Anderson [2002]
I thought you were sent from Heaven's door
But you knew all along you wouldn't stay
You left me here to drown in this heartache
I feel in the water that you walked on
Up to my heart in misery
I can't believe you're gone I thought you could do no wrong
'Til I fell in the water that you walked on
I just had to get close enough to touch
Once I did I couldn't get enough
But you're no where near what you appear to be
Now I see the truth but I'm in to deep
'Til I feel in the water that you walked on
Up to my heart in misery
I can't believe you're gone I thought you could do no wrong
'Til I fell in the water that you walked on
I feel in the water that you walked on
Up to my heart in misery
I can't believe you're gone I thought that you could do no wrong
'Til I fell in the water that you walked on
