Lyrics
Moon In The Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the wind is with me, but somehow out of sight
Not knowing where it comes from or where it goes
That's the way your memory shapes the middle of my nights
Since the last time I saw you and the words you chose
When I said: This must be what love is like. I saw it in a dream
You looked into my eyes and said: You don't know what you mean
'Cause love is for the fisherman who casts his nets too far upstream
Fishing for the Moon in the water
So I act now as if I've forgot my efforts all in vain
I spent some time with a new girl
Who made the simple world seem fine
But like a rose placed in a flower pot - her true nature contained
Not knowing what she asks for, or what she'll find
When she says: If I've ever had love in my life, then surely this is it
I said: Anyone who talks like that doesn't understand one bit
That love is for the fighter; born to lose but never quit
Swinging for the Moon in the water
So I left her with her dreams
Where I thought that she belonged
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
I hoped my loneliness found peace
I hoped my number had been drawn
When all I wanted from her was to remind me of you
So I stay out in the streets
Hoping to find you anywhere
Now that I understand
The woman you need to be
I can feel you in the heat
I can taste you in the air
And I can't help but find your face
In everything I see
And once I can admit you're gone, I'll place it on a star
And wait for the day I'm what you need, then reach out for your heart
'Cause even if love is more my mistress
Than my lovers ever are
You'll always be the Moon in the water
You'll always be the Moon in the water
You'll always be the Moon in the water
