High Muddy Water

And now I'll swim ashore
I know I can make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water

Water is deep and wide
Can't hang on long this way
If I could stand the tide
Perhaps I'd find a way

And now I'll swim ashore
I know I can make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water

I see the distance stir
And I hear a reckless sound
And something seems to say
I'm bound for higher ground

Now I'll swim ashore
I know I can make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water

The sun has risen late
I'm safe at last, my friend
Deep water was my fate
Now I've reached the end

And now I'll swim ashore
I know I can make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water

Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water
