Deep Water
Night falls on Coal County
No one in the neighborhood is coming out of doors
Walking dead I've made my bed
And I can't delay anymore
There she sits by the window
No telling tonight what it will be
She put poison in my coffee
So I started drinking tea
Try to stay one step ahead
Of the fate that waits for me
Could be deep water or a razor
Or something in the air
A pearl handle trigger finger
Or a tumble down the stairs
Every shadows bad intentions
Try to catch me unawares
And there's no telling when or where
There's a dozen sharp knives in the kitchen
There's an axe out by the woodshed
And a rope curled round a tree
There's a shiny letter opener
Book of murder mysteries
And she mutters something softly
Bout a term life policy
Could be deep water or a razor
Or something in the air
A pearl handle trigger finger
Or a tumble down the stairs
The suspense alone is killing me
Like some deadly solitaire
And there's no telling when or where
Could be deep water or a razor
Or buried in the sand
A pearl handle trigger finger
Or some other contraband
And I still want her, crazy for her
But should have never raised my hand
Now there's no telling where or when
Day will dawn in Coal County
Maybe I'll be rising
When the sun come up the hill
Walk away for one more precious day
But I'll come back home for the thrill
