lyrics

Water Finds Its Own Level
(Glenn Cardier)

I saw the whole damn day go from bad to worse -
I saw every blessing turn into a curse
And just when I thought my mind would completely unravel -
You said you loved me!
Well, water finds its own level.

I said, ‘Judge! Please, Judge! Take pity on me!
This time I’m pleadin’ temporary insanity!’
He laughed out loud as he come down hard on that gavel -
He said, ‘You tried that one last time, buddy!
Water finds its own level.’

Wild Bill went drinkin’ on a Saturday night
When he took to playin’ with a stick of dynamite -
When you light that fuse, one word that comes to mind is ‘careful’ -
Wild Bill went kaboom -
Water finds its own level.

Well, I woke up feelin’ fine, now things are turnin’ grim
And it’s gettin’ to the point where you sink or you swim.

I had a sneakin’ feelin’ our love was on the skids
Round about the time you said you wished I was dead -
Now we’re lyin’ in bed and our hair is all dishevelled -
I wondered what the hell happened -
You said, ‘Water finds its own level.’

The preacher spat hellfire and damnation too -
The preacher said, ‘Has salvation occurred to you?’
He said, ‘It’s time to choose between the Lord and the Devil -
I said, ‘I find it hard even choosin’ my clothes!’
He said, ‘Water finds its own level.’

Well, you say it’s gonna rain forty days and forty nights -
I got my umbrella baby, I’m gonna be alright.

Well, I wish you well baby, wherever you are -
Go follow that dream, go follow that star -
I’m done with it now, I’m done bein’ tearful -
I cried a million tears, water finds its own level -
I cried a million tears, water finds its own level.

about

Glenn Cardier image

Glenn Cardier Sydney, Australia

Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter/performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
