Water |
| My body was sleeping |
| While my poor mind was dreaming |
| When they woke me up |
| I didn’t know that I’d been screaming |
| And my old heart was pounding |
| For the devil had found me |
| Trapped me in a corner |
| Of my mind |
| And my legs were both shaking |
| From the pain they’d been taking |
| Picked my body up |
| And aimed for home |
| But these boots have seen better |
| Can’t make sense of this weather |
| Rolling over me |
| Up in the sky |
| But I was warm like a fire |
| For I was full of desire |
| To hold on |
| To not let go |
| Thought of friends, thought of family |
| And all who surround me |
| Those enemies I danced with, so long ago |
| Let them know |
| If you find water |
| Please call my name |
| Put me out like a fire |
| Cover me in rain |
| Thought of stars and the planets |
| Wondered how they could have planned this |
| And what were they thinking |
| How could they have known? |
| I felt small but full of pride |
| I felt tall for my size |
| My eyes were black |
| And fixed on the night |
| And your name just hung |
| From a song I had sung |
| There in the air |
| Suspended by beauty |
| There are words that get spoken |
| Oh, and lives they leave broken |
| Some stone breaks in half |
| And some stone shatters |
| But my speech had been fleeting |
| Like the company I’d been keeping |
| I never asked for their names |
| They never asked for mine |
| Just a polluted highway |
| Or a clouded skyway |
| I’m a mess, I confess |
| Now send me the maid |
| If you find water |
| Please call my name |
| Put me out like a fire |
| Cover me in rain |
| Thought of stages with their singers |
| Oh, and painters with their fingers |
| I was strong like a horse |
| In carrying my song |
| To drop it off in some stable |
| When I was young I was able |
| To never turn around |
| To never look behind |
| To grow old, to grow distant |
| Like a mare in the distance |
| Bothering no one, so let her live |
| Until she dies |
| Picture lilies, picture willows |
| And a wide open window |
| To a room with a view |
| And both of us laughing |
| Just children, so young |
| Oh, at least, in the scheme |
| With our hair still there |
| And you keep my teeth clean |
| I sing, «Who is my creator?» |
| Not my mother, nor my father |
| But before the universe burst |
| Wide on open |
| If you find water |
| Please call my name |
| Put me out like a fire |
| Cover me in rain |
| And if you find water |
| Won’t you call my name? |
| Put me out like a fire |
| Cover me in rain |
