Let the water run by my door
With no clue to where it's been
Did it fall among young summer rains
Or ice cold nights on desert plains

Let the water run by my door
On its way down to the sea
To be lifted into rainclouds
To come pouring down on you and me

Oh you're the saddest one that I've ever seen

Let the water flow by my door
It could go anywhere
Freeze your praying to a window's gaze
Or lap the shore on carefree days

Oh you're the saddest one that I've ever seen

Let the water run by my door
On its way down to the sea
To be lifted into rainclouds
To come pouring down on you and me

Let the water run
