Sometimes I hear your voice in the garden
I feel the ripple
I see the stone
Sometimes I see your face in the dark
In my dreams and
When I am alone
There is a feeling
When the light hits the water
It's just fleeting
But I see it
I'm still looking for some kind of sign
Some way of knowing
Some way to define
When the light hits the water
On the horizon
When the light hits the water
On the horizon
We can't go on living in reflection
I don't want
You to feel alone
But that loss it left a shadow
And I can't seem to let go
We swam out into the lake
And the cold was all we could take
We'll paint the rooms with
Living in
We'll fall in love with
This place again
When the light hits the water
On the horizon
When the light hits the water
On the horizon
When the light hits the water
On the horizon
When the light hits the water
And we wait for the daughter
