stranger in the water

I wanted the moon for you

And all I got was the light on the pool

And the winter black and new

The metal it made underneath my tongue

The ends of your fingers blue

The heat that was ebbing away

On the edge ashamed of myself

I never could stand the cold like you did

Two of us and we only share the light

And I thought I'd known you all my life

Now you're just a stranger in the water

Water

Then your body was out of my hands

I watched as you pulled it away

You know I'm greedy, I take what I want

When I want it, I know you have self restraint

Two of us and we only share the light

And I thought I'd known you all my life

Now you're just a stranger in the water

Water

Reflections

On the floor and in the bed

Show me

The woman I expect

Two of us and we only share the light

And I thought I'd known you all my life

Now you're just a stranger in the water

Water

I wanted the moon
