Only Water Brandon Heath D There's a shadow coming A as the sky goes black G It's a stubborn rain on a Nebraska plain D There's a farmer standing A on a thirsty ground G He holds his breath This is life or death G A D It's only water Chorus Bm G And it washes over me Bm G Like a single river stone m G Em7 Changes everything but has no power on its own G A D It's only water There's a winding canyon Where a mountain stood Miles of earth and clay Carried far away But there's something holy In these cathedral walls They took a lot of years And a lot of tears It's only water CHORUS There once was a wedding All the wine was gone They said He's just a man That's where it all began It was only water
