In the Caves Where the Water Flows
in the caves where the water flows
i hum a tune that crept into my mind from way back
i wish that she could have come, but she is still healing
i wish that she could feel this, but she is still dealing
in the caves where the water flows
i close my eyes in complete disbelief
i only dreamt about this after watching many television commercials
i want an autographed anecdote, but there are no ways to get an answer
i want a safety deposit box memory, but all i have are remembrances of right now
in the caves where the water flows
i am comfortably stuck, and i never want to leave
the magic and the mystery amazes me to the point of endless curiosity
the shock and the awe of it all inspires me to come back for more the next day
in the caves where the water flows
i embrace the peace and the medicinal stress release
nothing in the world above matter much here
i feel so far away and obliviously happy with nothing anywhere near
in the caves where the water flows
i give it one last goodbye kiss
i make my promise to come back somewhere between sometime soon and the very near future
knowing deep down inside, the truth is that i may never pass this way again
