Words and music by Jon MacAulay. A testament to the uncertainty of life.

lyrics

Your back is strong you’ll find the work
'least that’s what they told me when I was sixteen
Twenty-five years and I’m still toiling in the dirt
But times are hard, the budget’s lean

Send another man down the line
Tell me I’ll be doing fine
Can’t believe a word you hear

Cause something’s in the water
And I don’t know, tell me what I oughta do
And I don’t wanna be another victim to the slaughter
‘Cause this time through, it might be me and you
Well it just might be

I met you on your way to church
And I was coming down from a Saturday night
My brother tells me that she’s gone and how it hurts
Tell me that we’ll win this fight

Send another love down the line
Tell me we’ll be doing fine
Can’t believe a word you say

Cause something’s in the water
And I don’t know, tell me what I oughta do
Don’t want to be another victim to the slaughter
‘Cause this time through, it might be me and you
Well it just might be

And I don’t know if I can face the night
If I can pick up all the pieces in the morning
Though your eyes are shining bright
Will they fade away from me with no warning

Something’s in the water
And I don’t know, tell me what I oughta do
Don’t wanna be another victim to the slaughter
‘Cause this time through, it might be me and you
Just might be
Just might be
In the water babe, tell me what I oughta do
And I don’t want to be, another victim to the slaughter
Cause this time through, it might be me and you

Your back is strong you’ll find the work
'least that’s what they told me when I was sixteen
