Do you know I saw you standing in the middle of the White River?
You were spilling everything, your red backpack open
Upturned and emptied
I gave you a moment, it was all I could do not to
Draw near, nearer still
I will have you any form you're in
I'd be vapor, I'd be freezing
Just to find you in every season
'Cause our love is, our love is water
So, I'll come wading toward you through dissolving paper
Waving at a distance
So, you know it's me approaching
And when you show me your countersign
I'll know I can-
Draw near, nearer still
'Cause I want you any phase you're in
I'd be vapor, I'd be freezing
Just to find in every season
Draw near, nearer still
I want to be sure you're listening
'Cause the word bank changes
Only to say the same old things
At new depths of meaning
'Cause our love is, our love is water
♪
I don't have any illusions that I'm the one to save you
I'll just be watching your yellow parachute descend like a retriever
I'll be there when you land
I wanna make your sky open in blooms of borrowed hues from the blueberries
We're gonna pick in South Haven
When we're full of years and all the ways we changed
Just to stay the same
So, come crystallize with me in living memory
All we do to keep ourselves bonded
'Cause our love is, our love is water (so, draw nearer still)
♪
Baby, I don't want the truth of us to always be liquid
I want a vow to keep
So, draw near, nearer still
I will seek you to the furthest end
I'd be vapor, I'd be freezing
Just to find the bride of my youth again
'Cause our love is, our love is water
And our life is a vapor
And time is fleeting
So, let's rehearse
Heaven and Earth meeting
