Time is as weak as water
I'm kneeling on the shore
Showers, palm fronds
Cross me spilling
Silver sidewalks
Lips so red
World so wide
Around my head
Waiting

Time is as weak as water

I taught myself a lesson
I put myself to sleep
Sirens, jasmine
Jasper, flagpole
Tree top, sidewalk
Thursday night
Magnolia
Along my street
Later

I taught myself a lesson

I taught myself a lesson

Time is as weak as water
I'm kneeling on the shore
Showers, palm fronds
Cross me spilling
Silver sidewalks
Lips so red
World so wide
Around my head
Waiting

Time is as weak as water
