Holding Water 2 (grabación 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Rusty tap at the end of the hall

Bucket waiting where the pipes go

Neighbours knock but nobody calls

My mother's voice in my ear then

Water's coming, don't you forget

Pre-Chorus – both

Can we trust a sound that's been broken for years

Is it coming or are the walls just trembling?

Chorus

Verse 2 – female vocal

I put my hands on the pipe's old skin

Warm water starts to pour in

Nobody knows where it will stop

My mother taught me not to ask why

The neighbour laughs at the sound of the drip

Tells us this is all we can keep

Not enough to drink but maybe enough to hope

Pre-Chorus – both

Can we trust a sound that's been broken for years

Is it coming or are the walls just trembling?

Chorus

Bridge

Water on our hands, water in the pan

We won't ask what else they've turned off down there

Not enough to drink but this is something more

Than nothing at all. We're holding onto water.
