Lyrics
The forked branch of a last-year's peach tree
Pulls in our knuckles down toward the creek bed.
We feel for the shiver of the deep-down aquifer,
Burying every word our grandfathers said.
[Chorus]
We got the water-witching blood in us
This whole town is a divining rod
Searching for a clean seam under the rust
[Verse 2]
They test the tap at the plant every Tuesday,

We got the water-witching blood in us
This whole town is a divining rod
Searching for a clean seam under the rust
[Bridge]
A fault line runs from the churchyard to the river,
A cobalt debt that keeps pulling down.
[Outro]
Still pulling down.
Still pulling.
