Story Behind the Song
Thankfully and amazingly, in my drunken stupor I still had the wits to record this on my little tape machine. If not, I would never have remembered writing it at all!!! I found it on the tape a few weeks later while looking for a different giblet. I love this song, though I still need to add another verse. That little tape machine might turn out to be the single most important xmas present I ever received.
Lyrics
“Head Above the Water”
( 2002-Curtis Murphy)
Don't you worry 'bout nothin', darlin'
I will be your canoe
Yeah I'll deliver you safe
As I promised I'd do
And if the world spins you upside down
I'll lift you up, I'll dust you off, I'll get you rollin' again
and I'll destroy any other man... who gets outta line, so honey gimme a smile and
Wipe that scared look from your eyes!
'Cause I will hold your
Head Above the Water
I'll never let you come to harm, na-na!
I will hold your
Head Above the Water
I'll be your magic carpet ride, of love
I'll be on your side 'til it ends
No, there's nothin' that I
Would not do to defend
Everything that you are
I saw you gallop in on sunlight beams
You are an angel from above, you can not hide that from me
Amidst the glow I saw you spread your wings... to take to the sky, I made a promise that night that I would never let you die!
So I will hold your
Head Above the Water
I'll never let you come to harm, na-na!
I will hold your
Head Above the Water
I'll be your magic carpet ride, of love
I'll be on your side when it ends.
