This is a great song that hasn't gotten as much attention as it should (IMHO)
Unfortunately, Cheryl didn't perform it for very long. I think it has some great images, and I especially like the part about so much water under the bridge that it must be sinking now. Water under the bridge brings to mind something being over and we shouldn't worry about it anymore. But then she adds the part about the bridge being swept away by all the water that has gone under it.
- Must Be Sinking Now
- Music and words by
- Cheryl Wheeler
- When we were in love, or whatever it was
- We tore apart their believing hearts
- Just to ride that passion in
- We survived ok, through the mess we made
- But I don't know how we can come back now
- And try to be friends again
- (Chorus)
- Cause when I see you I can't let the past remain the past
- All that heartache we brought on comes rushing back so fast
- I can't see no road ahead, just pulls me down somehow
- And there's so much water under that bridge, it must be sinking now
- With a shiver and chill, it haunts me still
- What a fool I was to have almost lost
- Most of what's dear to me
- From the very first touch, we took too much
- In the fire we found I was burnin' down
- And just too blind to see
- (Repeat Chorus)
- If we had just held on - maybe once
- Seen beyond our fire
- But our try agains and might have beens
- Were swept away when we were, when we were
- (Repeat Chorus)
