Water in the Creek Lyrics

I clung to a blindfold and a book
I couldn't think, I couldn't look
A car careening off the road

I spoke like a riddle, in a dream
My heart was pumping gasoline
I still was sleeping when i woke

My head, ran away, and then my heart
The whole caboodle fell apart
I didn't notice I was gone

But now, there is music, there is light
There is laughter, there is sight
I am new, and I am strong

Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there's water in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew

I thought I knew it all before
My cup was spilling on the floor
I had to pour it down the drain

Now I can fill it up anew
With something real, with something true
I'm standing naked in the rain

Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there's water in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew

The beginner's mind will see
That there's a forest for the trees
And that we're smaller than the sum of who we are

With a whisper or a shout
The voice will shake you in and out
And leave you empty as a midnight boulevard, ooh

Free me, scrub away my calloused thoughts, release me Clean me, there's water in the creek And I will wash away my sad defeats and start, this all anew
