Shy Water Lyrics

Old Dan Tannengraph, you can keep your cold, dead stare
Pretty lady's waiting out in the coal stained air
And I've watched your hair turn gray
Throughout the course of one fateful day

And she got (she got)
Shy water in her eyes
She got (she got)
Shy water in her eyes

Well, on that creaky wooden porch you can think about what you've lost
While some nurse you don't know brings you paper cups full of pills
Well, your pretty lady's somewhere, lonely and turning gray
What a mistake you have made

She got (she got)
Shy water in her eyes
She got (she got)
Shy water in her eyes

Well you can stick to your guns if you please
It don't bother me, oh-oh
You can stick to your guns if you need
You need

Well if there's a moral here that's to be learned
It's not to let a good thing pass you by
Right now, you're staring straight ahead
Beside some girl with shy water in her eyes

And she got (she got)
Shy water in her eyes
She got (she got)
Shy water in her eyes

Well you can stick to your guns if you please
It don't bother me, oh-oh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
