"Walk On Water" lyrics - WISHBONE ASH

Now Susie's old man says,
"I will get a job if I can,
But I'm I 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".

[Chorus:]
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 conviction,
But does that prevent you from listenin' too?
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.

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
