Water Under The Bridge

I dream of things that are now real
That reality's brought through
And dreaming awake I feel
The hands of fate are true.

I dream of you and me as lovers
I dream of us beneath the bridge
I dream the rain dripping over
Next to us, sliding down the ridge.

I watch the water with you
And we hold hands and talk.
It goes into the drain; through
And marks the floor like chalk.

I say goodbye to emptyness.
Goodbye to melancholy thoughts;
Of thinking what could've been isn't
As I watch the water-- caught
Into the drain, and down its brought.

I say goodbye at the door
Of every failed companionship.
I'm ready to see more
Of this brand new relationship.

I'm in love, and I've been
Crazy about you forever.
And I'm anxious to begin
No matter what the weather.

I'll watch the water drip
And slide down the ridge.
With you next to me it dips.
Water under the bridge.
