WILD ACCUSATION
© Rob Russell Davies 2006

Duckin' and divin'
You were always out gettin' attention
Cheatin' and lyin'
You were playing the game of deception
But I knew your lovin' was tainted
Home all alone as I waited

Tryin' to walk through your treacherous jungle
Gettin' torn to bits, losing direction
I fumbled and stumbled
In a forest of total rejection
It seemed like you'd play me forever
But you never planned on the weather...

CHORUS 1:
I never meant to see you drown
Wild accusation
I never tried to pull you down
That's speculation
But I let you dive in far too deep
And watched you go under
Maybe I'm just a little mean
It makes me wonder

There's a man who does mumbo and jumbo
So I went and I told him my mis'ry
I moaned and I grumbled
'Till he winked and said 'leave it all with me'
He blew powder makin' me shiver
And smiled as he left for the river...

CHORUS 1: (repeated)


CHORUS 2:
People might say that you were led
Wild accusation
People might think I'd planned ahead
Premeditation
But no-one can blame me for the storm
The river turned violent
All I could do was watch it all
In perfect silence.

Wild accusation (repeated 4 times)
