[Verse 1 - Joy Williams]
I see a ghost out on the water
I swear it has my face
I bend and drink the lonely down, the lonely down
There's trouble on the river
And whispers in the trees
I can feel it all around, all around

[Chorus - Joy Williams]
I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks

[Verse 2 - Joy Williams]
I'm gonna wade out past the shallows
And brave the bitter taste
I'm gonna drink the lonely down, the lonely down
Let the current take me over
Let the ruin turn to white
I can feel it all around, all around

[Chorus - Joy Williams]
I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks
I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache, the ache, the ache
[Bridge - Joy Williams]
So go and let it break
Take all I can take

[Chorus - Joy Williams]
I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee, oh, until the levee on my heart breaks
Oh, I'm gonna stand
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks
