about

“Walking on Water” is about a woman flirting with insanity in the wake of being abandoned by her husband and daughters. The music suggests a bygone era, and the lyrics serve to introduce the matriarch (grandmother) of the family being chronicled.

lyrics

I’ve been walking on water
Wasting all my time
I’ve been calling your daughters
Waiting on the line

Oh, walking on water
All my shoes are dry
I’ve been walking on water
All I do is cry

Daddy, you left all your children
Waiting on a lie
Daddy, you left all your children
All I do is cry

I’ve been walking on water
Walking on my own
I’m walking to heaven
Least they tell me so

Daddy, you left all your children
Waiting on a lie
Daddy, you left all your children
All I do is cry

I’m walking on water
Walking on my own
I’m walking to heaven
Least they tell me so
