This Water

歌詞

There's a bird on the land There's a bird on the bay There's a sun in the sky But it won't go away And the clock on the wall says remember All that you've said Don't think of the dangers you could have avoided If only he'd stayed Oh, this water is making my death Every season stealing my man from my bed And if this winter should carry him through to the next All I can offer is yours to take Keep me from cold Keep me from foolish mistakes Make me a woman whose love knows how to wait As the fist on my pillow beats down in a midnight rage Let the wind in his sails carry him back to the bay
