Wishbone Ash Walk On Water lyrics

Now Susie's old man says
"I will get a job if I can
But I'm a proud man
And there's no one who's willing to pay for what I am"

But the rent has to be paid
And day after day we go deeper in debt
The child has a school and
She can't stick to rules that she does not have

She says
"I can't walk on water to will
I'm sinkin' in the real world
I can't walk on water to will
Everybody sells themselves
Why don't you do the same?"

Her calm is broken
And she's tired of toein' the line for you
You have your religion
But does that prevent you from listenin' to?

You say you love her
But she can't love someone she does not respect

The psychology is
You want somethin' bad, you have to go get

But she says
"I can't walk on water to will
I'm sinkin' in the real world
I can't walk on water to will
Everybody sells themselves
Why don't you do the same?"

He never thought that
She would give up and move on
For he tried so hard to convince her
That his love was strong

But she says
"I can't walk on water to will
I'm sinkin' in the real world
I can't walk on water to will
Everybody sells themselves
Why don't you do the same?"
