Lyrics
I'm ten feet underwater
Standing in a sunken canoe
Looking up at the water lilies
They're green and violet blue
And still the sun it finds
A place to light me
And still the sun it finds
That it's warm beside me
Green and violet blue
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I wanna be the one and love is a sign
The letters that we're writing
Baby they just break our hearts
And when we're back together again
There's just no time to start
No time to restore
It's all on the ground
What you've been doing
Against what I've found
This is what I've found
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I wanna be the one and love is a sign
I'm not a playboy or a poet
There's no cool water from the well
I wish you had a big house
And that your work would start to sell
Wave after wave
Our tension and our tenderness
Wave after wave
Our tension and our tenderness
Green and violet blue
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I wanna be the one and love is a sign
I know I'll see you again
The world's too big or too small
And I won't be the madman then
It'll be me that's come to call
Me in freezing weather
Snow cuffs on my wrist
You down by the river
And London no longer exists
This is what I've found
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I wanna be the one and love is a sign
