Standing on the water Paddle in my hands Heading to centre Further from the land I move in sweeping gestures casting ripples in my wake Spreading out behind me on the surface of the lake Spreading out behind me on the surface of the lake

Standing on the water So peaceful and serene Ancient rock beneath me Overgrown and green I can't see my reflection But I know what I would see Someone standing on the water, looking back at me Someone standing on the water, looking back at me

Centuries of history Stiring the sprawl Standing on the water, I can see it all

Standing on the water In the morning sun Mountains in the distance Appearing one by one Sometime the future I will remember this Standing on the water, gliding through the mist Standing on the water, gliding through the mist

Standing on the water Stood here by myself Living in the moment But my mind is somewhere else Thinking of the last time That I held you near Standing on the water, wishing you were here Standing on the water, wishing you were here
