Moon In The Water

When the wind is with me But somehow out of sight Not knowing where it comes from Or where it goes That's the way your memory Shapes the middle of my night Since the last time I saw you And the words you chose When I said, "This must be what love is Like I saw it in a dream" You looked into my eyes and said, "You Don't know what you mean Cause love is for the fisherman who cast His nets too far upstream Fishing for the moon in the water So I act now as if I've forgot My efforts all in vain I spent some time with a new girl Who made the simple world seem fine But like a rose placed in a flower pot A true nature contained Not knowing what she asks for Or what she'll find When she says, "If I've had love in my Life then surely this is it" I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't Understand one bit That love is for the fighter born to lose But never quit Swinging for the moon in the water" So I left her with her dreams where I Thought that she belonged Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew I hoped my loneliness found peace I hoped my number had been drawn When all I wanted from her was to Remind me of you So I stay out in the streets Hoping to find you anywhere Now that I understand The woman you need to be I can feel you in the heat I can taste you in the air And I can't help but find your face in Everything I see And once I can admit you're gone I'll Place it on a star And wait for the day I'm what you need And then reach out for heart Cause even if love is more my mistress Than my lovers ever are You'll always be the moon in the water --- Moon in the Water - Dawes
