Water Of Your Love
love is an ocean love is a sea
love is a river that brings you to me
love is the water I’m dreaming of
everything you do to me leaves me in a reverie
wash me in the water of your love
once I was a sailor on the Adriatic Sea
I traveled to the edges of the world
I plundered Grecian waters for the graves of sunk armadas
and wore armor cast of silver and of pearls
the sirens almost took me more times than I should mention
and the mermaids well where does a man begin
but I would leave the freedom of the moonlight and the sails
just to feel the water of your love again
love is an ocean love is a sea
love is a river that brings you to me
love is the water I’m dreaming of
everything you do to me leaves me in a reverie
wash me in the water of your love
once I built the longest railroad ever to be seen
and I dug three hundred miles underground
I thumb wrestled the devil and I beat him best of seven
and continued laying spikes into the ground
life for me was oil and the weight of the sledgehammer
and the thunder of the boxes of the train
but I would leave the freedom of the dirt and of the rails
just to feel the water of your love again
once I was a pilot of a rocket to the stars
and I learned to dance the jig in outer space
I mended broken planets and I painted Mars in red
and I strung up lights throughout the Milky Way
but the moon was far too cold and the sun was far too warm
and I missed the cooing of the mourning dove
and so I left the twinkling and the glitter of the sky
just to feel the water of your love
love is an ocean love is a sea
love is a river that brings you to me
love is the water I’m dreaming of
everything you do to me leaves me in a reverie
wash me in the water of your love
