Water Under the Bridge - Lyrics - Wendy Wall

Water Under the Bridge Everything seems so peaceful the light on the still and the deep of the waters is everyone out there at peace and can we do right by our sons and our daughters So it's begun, the slow set of the sun when it's done may we rest from our labors the moon lights a turn in the bend over the rise of the fences of neighbors Water runs under the bridge through the years of the days we live till we lay ourselves down to sleep till we pray for our souls to keep weeks pass, the seasons turn through the years of our lessons learned every day of the years we live water runs under the bridge Everything seems so peaceful and still we're awash in the waves of our angers here in a still that won't quiet that beast or make us our peace or make neighbors of strangers So it's begun, the slow set of the sun when it's done may we rest from our demons the wind sheds the seeds from the trees and carries them over the hillsides to freedom And water runs under the bridge through the years, through the days we live till we lay ourselves down to sleep till we pray for our souls to keep weeks pass, the seasons turn through the years of our lessons learned every trespass we can't forgive water runs under the bridge Still we hold our little hatreds till they've stripped from us all we held sacred till our teachers are rivers and rapids that wash over stones that bow to the curve of the earth and carry us home Everything seems so peaceful tonight in the still at the banks of the waters when did we trade in such peace and what are we teaching our sons and our daughters So it is done, the slow set of the sun now the moonlight has mirrored the waters the stars all cast out in the vast sky over the rise of the fences and borders And water runs under the bridge through the years of the days we live till we lay ourselves down to sleep till we pray for new souls to keep weeks pass, the seasons turn through the years of our lessons learned every day of the years we live water runs under the bridge every trespass we can't forgive water runs under the bridge all lyrics copyright 2011 Wendy Wall all rights reserved
