Water That Glows


I stare at the surface
Of the water that glows
A flood full of stars, full of lights
Of the sunshine that glows

It eases the mind
It clears up the pain
It gives me strength
So I can face up the pain
Has it ever left me 
You know it's hard
To recall it must have been
When the pond was frozen
In the center of town

And what did he look like
Thank god I don't know
I close my eyes for
The rims in the water of
The plunges of the stones
that I throw

But what could I say
And what could I do
Somebody else
Crawled up to you
I cried out for help
But I cried out too late
You look down my face
Like you would
do down a grave

Now I'm stuck here
With all the water that flows
Flows through my head
Along the wrecks of emotions
That turned into lead 
It lightens the pain
And clears up the brain
It shines in my eyes,
Makes me almost insane

Water that flows,
Water that glows
Into the sea
Out of my love
Out of my eyes
Just to put out the fire
The fire that burns
Right from the start
This loving is lasting
In the center of heart

but what could I say
and what could I do
somebody else 
crawled up to you
I cried out for help 
but I cried out too late

Water that ... glows
Water that...  flows
In your brain
