Watermark

You drew a picture from the past
like water from a well,
and before my eyes a lifetime flashed
as once again I fell.
You always knew what strings to pull,
how to make me dance your tune...
but in my free-fall I can see
these flights end all too soon.

The watermark of what once was
stays when the tide has turned,
and I try to make it high and dry,
even though I get burned...
I just hold on,hold on,hold on...

I find no comfort in the sound
of truth your words might tell,
when you say a love is heaven-bound
it means I’ll go through hell.
You never fail to weave your web,
or to make your words ring true...
but even spell-bound I can see
the thread ends all too soon.

Still...
The watermark of what once was
stays when the tide has turned,
and I try to make it high and dry,
even though I get burned...
I just hold on,hold on,hold on...
