Turn to the Water - August 3, 2019

Chris Thile's Song of the Week, "Turn to the Water," from our August 3, 2019 show (originally from our March 2 broadcast). The band: Joey Dosik, Madison Cunningham, Mike Elizondo, Chris Eldridge, Alex Hargreaves, and Trevor Lawrence Jr. — Lyrics: Out the front door The melting snow Would turn our creek into a river Now from the airplane I catch a glimpse Of the Mississippi And my young self asks me If we’re doing all right When the pressure of living Is too much for the wine I turn to the water ‘Cause none of our failings Can worry my mind To the point where a river can’t soothe me Out the front door The melting snow Would turn our creek into a river And brave explorers Could sail the globe And still be home in time for dinner Now from the hotel I hear the song Of the mighty frozen Mississippi “Under ice and trouble We will roll along Bring me your burdens For all that you’ve earned them There are no shoulders broader than mine When the pressure of living Is too much for your wine Turn to my water ‘Cause none of y’all’s failings Should worry your mind To the point where this river can’t soothe you” When the pressure of living Is too much for the wine I turn to the water and choose To believe that no failing Can worry my mind To the point where this river can’t soothe me
