What it feels like when a man and a woman have given everything they have to a relationship....and it still doesn't work. Thanks to Aerin Tedesco for being the woman's voice. More...

Lyrics

so we cry 'cause we're made of water
and its salt is our debt to the sweat of our fathers
and our mothers bled us into this light screaming
where blood tastes of metal and tears make us rust

"how could you love me? I ain't done nothin'
my wounds are my prison I'm suckling fear"

oh woman what can I do?
your heart has gone dry and I can't get through
oh lover go on and cry me all the waters of this world
and I'll row you home

you're a feather on the breath of your fear
you want trust but you'll settle for safety I just want you near
let it fly from the pride of secrets into the light a startled dove
let it rain on the desert of all your fevers and grieving my love

"how could you love me? I ain't done nothin'
my wounds are my prison I'm suckling fear"

oh woman what can I do?
your heart has gone dry and I can't get through
oh lover go on and cry me all the waters of this world
and I'll row you home

the ache of a garden asleep in the dust
the drought of your shame the echo of us

what I am most truly is what I am with you
but your heart has gone dry and I can't get through
oh lover go on and cry me all the waters of this world
and I'll row you home

you are the thirst in me darlin' but what can I do?
your heart has gone dry and I can't get through
oh lover go on and cry me all the waters of this world
and I'll row you home
