only water
brandon heath

D
there’s a shadow coming
A
as the sky goes black
G
it’s a stubborn rain
on a nebraska plain

D
there’s a farmer standing
A
on a thirsty ground
G
he holds his breath
this is life or death
G A D
it’s only water

chorus
Bm G
and it washes over me
Bm G
like a single river stone
m G Em7
changes everything but has no power on its own
G A D
it’s only water

there’s a winding canyon
where a mountain stood
miles of earth and clay
carried far away

but there’s something holy
in these cathedral walls
they took a lot of years
and a lot of tears
it’s only water

chorus

there once was a wedding
all the wine was gone
they said he’s just a man
that’s where it all began
it was only water
