He says "I knew you when you were so young
And you will never know me
Except for pictures that you might find from
When you were three or four or five"

Down at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight
At the waterline
At the waterline tonight

Now I'm talking with my sister
Who says she knows you well
She says she hears you in her hallway at night
And sometimes she can smell you

But me, I have to make you up
From the smallest clues I can find
Me, I have to dig you up
From the corners of my mind

We're at the waterline
At the waterline tonight
We're at the waterline
At the waterline tonight

I built this boat for you, my friend
And you're not here to get in
I'm wondering... should I let it go
And see if I can swim

Yeah, I'm standing with this boat I built
With water at my knees
I thought that I might find you here
But it looks like it's just me

Here at the waterline
At the waterline tonight
At the waterline
The waterline tonight

I'm walking with my father's ghost
He's talking to me
He says "I'm sorry"Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Waterline Lyrics

Well I'm walking with my father's ghost
And he's talking to me
He says "I'm sorry it's so hard to be free"

He says "I knew you when you were so young
And you will never know me
Except for pictures that you might find from
When you were three or four or five"

Down at the waterline
I'm at the waterline tonight
At the waterline
At the waterline tonight

Now I'm talking with my sister
Who says she knows you well
She says she hears you in her hallway at night
And sometimes she can smell you

But me, I have to make you up
From the smallest clues I can find
Me, I have to dig you up
From the corners of my mind

We're at the waterline
At the waterline tonight
We're at the waterline
At the waterline tonight

I built this boat for you, my friend
And you're not here to get in
I'm wondering... should I let it go
And see if I can swim

Yeah, I'm standing with this boat I built
With water at my knees
I thought that I might find you here
But it looks like it's just me

Here at the waterline
At the waterline tonight
At the waterline
The waterline tonight

I'm walking with my father's ghost
He's talking to me
He says "I'm sorry"

Dog's Eye View are an alternative folk/rock group from Los Angeles, California who formed in 1994. The group's revolving lineup circles around singer/songwriter Peter Stuart and currently consists of Stuart (vocals, guitar), Curt Schneider (bass, guitar, percussion), Andrew Williams (guitar) and Matt Beck (guitar). They are best known for their 1995 hit single "Everything Falls Apart".

Peter Stuart (vocalist/guitarist) started out by playing in the acoustic club circuit. He then became a backup singer on a Counting Crows tour in 1994. He recorded an album with producer Jimbo Barton and a band that included Neil Nunziato on drums, Mike Visceglia on bass, Dawn Buckhola on the cello, and Regina Ballantese on the violin. They became known collectively as Dog's Eye View. They signed with Sony Records and released the album Happy Nowhere in 1995, which peaked at #77 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts. The band recorded a song for the Vic Chesnutt benefit album "Sweet Relief Two". In 1996 they had major success at radio and VH1 with the single "Everything Falls Apart", which hit #8 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts and #66 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following this success, Dog's Eye View toured with Counting Crows, Del Amitri, and The Wallflowers following the release of Happy Nowhere. However, a second single, "Small Wonders", failed to chart.

A second album, Daisy, was released by Sony in 1997. Following this, Peter Stuart released a solo album, Propeller, on Vanguard Records in 2002. After an extended hiatus, Dog's Eye View released a third album (also on Vanguard), Tomorrow Always Comes, in 2005. Read more on Last.fm.
