Lyrics
Water lilies
I speak but you don?t hear
I show but you don?t see
the rocky waters between you and me
so I built this bridge
like the one by Monet
in a beautiful garden
where I?m not afraid
How can you not love
when you?ve been loved so much
are you afraid you?ll lose
something you cannot touch
or could you cross this bridge
instead of burn it down
You?re so afraid to live
this way that I have found
I ask but you say no
I beg but you just laugh
and say you don?t need me
why do I bother to ask
This goes on for years
I show but you don?t see
I speak but you don?t hear
I build these bridges for me
How can you not love
when you?ve been loved so much
are you afraid you?ll lose
something you cannot touch
or could you cross this bridge
instead of burn it down
You?re so afraid to live
this way that I have found
I speak but you don?t hear
I show but you don?t see
the rocky waters between you and me
so I build these bridges
like the ones by Monet
in a beatiful garden
in a beautiful place
How can you not love
when you?ve been loved so much
are you afraid you?ll lose
something you cannot touch
something you cannot touch
