 The Dam at Otter Creek by +Live+
 from the album Throwing Copper

 I got this from a friend and I think it is pretty accurate. This riff
 is played most of the way through the song. All strings are tuned down
 a half step.

Lyrics:

When all that's left to do
is reflect on what's been done
this is where sadness breathes
the sadness of everyone

Just like when the guys built
the dam at Otter Creek and all the
water backed up
deep enough to dive

We took the dead man in sheets
to the river flanked by love
deep enough to dive
deep enough to dive
be here now

We took him three and three
in a stretcher made of trees
that had passed in the storm
leave the hearse behind
to leave the curse behind
be here now

	lyrics are veeeeeery unfinished, but regardless, I have the balls to call this the best song from Throwing Copper. beats I alone, beats Selling the Drama, beats Lightning Crashes, beats All Over You, beats Shit Towne. Screw you mainstream lovas, this is the shit.

	definately underrated song, i used to think he said "beat her now" not "be here now". meaning they murdered someone for beating a woman close to him. i still think the song is about killing someone and partially regretting it immediately after, but not sure why.

	I've had this album for years, and only really listened to this track for the first time yesterday. Amazing song. White, Discussion is another great one.
