Spirit on the water   Darkness on the face of the deep   I keep thinkin' about you, baby   And I can't hardly sleep      I'm travelin' by land   Travelin' through the dawn of day   You're always on my mind   I can't stay away      I'd forgotten about you   Then you turned up again   I always knew   We were meant to be more than friend      When you're near   It's just as plain as it can be   I'm wild about you, gal   You ought to be a fool about me      Can't explain   The sources of this hidden pain   You burned your way into my heart   You got the key to my brain      I've been tramplin' through mud   Prayin' to the powers above   I'm sweatin' blood   You got a face that begs for love      Life without you   Doesn't mean a thing to me   If I can't have you   I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea      Sometimes I wonder   Why you can't treat me right?   You do good all day   And then you do wrong all night      When you're with me   I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say   What does it matter?   Or what price I pay?      They brag about your sugar   Brag about it all over town   Put some sugar in my bowl   I feel like layin' down      I'm as pale as a ghost   Holdin' a blossom on a stem   You ever seen a ghost? No   But you have heard of them      I see you there   I'm blinded by the colors I see   I take good care   Of what belongs to me      I hear your name   Ringin' up and down the line   I'm sayin' it plain   These ties are strong enough to bind      Now your sweet voice   Calls out from some old familiar shrine   I got no choice   Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind      I could live forever   With you perfectly   You don't ever   Have to make a fuss over me      From East to West   Ever since the world began   I only mean it for the best   I want to be with you any way I can      I've been in a brawl   Now I'm feeling the wall   I'm going 'way, baby   I won't be back 'til fall      High on the hill   You can carry all my thoughts with you   You've numbed my will   This love could tear me in two      I wanna be with you in paradise   And it seems so unfair   I can't go to paradise, no more   I killed a man back there      You think, I'm over the hill   Think, I'm past my prime   Let me see what you got   We can have a whoppin' good time
