Beneath The Fence Wire (версия 2)

Verse

Wire fence runs where the creek bed bends

Copper rust on an old tin roof end

Dad said water don't run from a wire alone

It's what it carries through when no one is home

Mm... the first time I saw you standing there

Your boots were scuffed but your eyes showed no care

Radio crackling soft on that wooden crate

Summer air like someone poured it straight into our state of mind

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why does my chest feel loose tonight

Tell me what is running through this wire so right

I'm not scared to get in over my head now

It's like the whole town's waking up, finally letting go

Chorus

We're beneath the fence wire, our feet on the stones

The water keeps moving long after it moves alone

Every little heartbeat beats a river wide and free

That's where I wanna be underneath this fence line with you and me

Verse

Grandfather said back then they called this stream 'divine

Same ones now just call it flooding all over again

But I'll never believe that water don't remember

How it learned every step the way before the thunder

Nineteen seventy-one, a boy named Jake went under

Came up coughing, changed his mind in a moment

My grandmother knelt down on the bank with a lantern low

She said this river moves slow but what it brings nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why does my chest feel loose tonight

Tell me what is running through this wire so right

I'm not scared to get in over my head now

It's like the whole town's waking up, finally letting go

Chorus

We're beneath the fence wire, our feet on the stones

The water keeps moving long after it moves alone

Every little heartbeat beats a river wide and free

That's where I wanna be underneath this fence line with you and me

Bridge

Mm... maybe the world wasn't built for staying still

Maybe running through gets all the good into your will

Every summer night my name gets written twice

Once on the map of roads the old ones think is right

But once in something deeper, something that won't fade with time

Chorus

We're beneath the fence wire, our feet on the stones

The water keeps moving long after it moves alone

Every little heartbeat beats a river wide and free

That's where I wanna be underneath this fence line with you and me
