As water trickles from the aqua sky,
I silently ponder over my life…
And how much I care, oh can’t you see why?
Your bright smile, like the sun helps me through strife.
Before now, I never knew who I was,
but you helped show me the world’s vivid glow.
You are my best friend, brave, funny, and just.
With you will I feel the bitter, cold snow?
I know that together we’ll move mountains,
Our fates like a vine have become entwined.
Our pleasure spreads like water in fountains,
Moving forward, we'll never press rewind.
Holding hands as we keep moving along,
You’re the drum behind the beat of my song.
The are gone, the house is silent now
The families from a distant state that came
Saw me cuddled in my cradling vow
Smiled, but could not understand the flame
So now alone again with thoughts of you
So now alone again with bright memories
I smell the jasmine of your presence, Jew
How sweet is your voice over waves and eddies.
And again on Gunboat beach we run, and I
Coming from the water find them there
You see the the anger in my frown and eye
You see the rising cause of liquid fear
And thinking only of me, your charm opened
To them like a rose, they happy left
And I visited by heaven, denied an angel then
Left that place crushed and so bereft.
O that I could return there again, just stay
Still crimson sunset colors you gold
To tell my apologies and with you play
Till the sands are old, and the waters cold
Implore its heat from you. To sit again
And dine on your loveliness, to feast my
Heart on your eyes singing me a refrain
While around us wind and water only sigh.
