Water on Snow Black

Did I sleep, do I dream
Of cold, silent water
So deep and dark
And the wires are singing our song
Our song

As we lay back and stared
Into cloudless skies
The stars up there
The wires are singing our song
The wires are singing our song

Your face, now so plain, once was so lovely
A beautiful refrain, duet with stars
But your smile, now in disguise, became a flat line
And to never love again, as you did before, was all

Why go on with it
Why go on with it
Why, to let it flow
Like water on snow

I know what you want, what you are thinking
To drift beyond the pain and out of reach
To sink, be safe and warm, inside your sorrow
And listen to the slow, slow morse tapping of the rain
And it says
