Moon In The Water

When the wind is with me, but somehow out of sight
 Not knowing where it comes from or where it goes
 That's the way your memory shapes the middle of my night
 Since the last time I saw you, and the words you chose
 When I said, "This must be what love is
 Like I saw it in a dream"
 You looked into my eyes and said
 "You don't know what you mean
 'Cause love is for the fisherman who cast his nets too far upstream
 Fishing for the moon in the water"
 So I act now as if I've forgot my efforts all in vain
 I spent some time with a new girl who made the simple world seem fine
 But like a rose placed in a flower pot, a true nature contained
 Not knowing what she asks for or what she'll find
 When she says, "If I've had love in my life, then surely this is it"
 I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't understand one bit"
 But love is for the fighter born to lose, but never quit
 Swinging for the moon in the water
 So I left her with her dreams where I thought that she belonged
 Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
 I hoped my loneliness found peace
 I hoped my number had been drawn
 When all I wanted from her was to remind me of you
 So I stay out in the streets hoping to find you anywhere
 Now that I understand the woman you need to be
 I can feel you in the heat, I can taste you in the air
 And I can't help but find your face in everything I see
 And once I can admit you're gone, I'll place it on a star
 And wait for the day I'm what you need, then reach out for heart
 'Cause even if love is more my mistress than my lovers ever are
 You'll always be the moon in the water
 You'll always be the moon in the water
 You'll always be the moon in the water
