Only Water

Water, only water
Will ever be the same
No ending, no beginning
As the seasons change

The longest time I've been waiting alone like the river
Where as a young girl I used to play a scene
I would throw in flowers and branches
And they would float to my lover
Until the day he'd see them
And they'd bring him here to me

Water, only water
Will ever be the same
My needings only fleeting
As the seasons change

I looked across the lake's surface
And I dreamt of a shelter
I'd go skating to the other side
I know he's out there, catching my faded flowers
Well I could leave tomorrow
But my heart is frozen and the ice is far too thin

Water, only water
Will ever be the same
My needings only fleeting
As the seasons change

Water, only water
Will ever be the same
No ending, no beginning
As the seasons change

Come to the water, play in the water
Walk on the water to me
