Watermark Lyrics

Watermark lyrics

How delicate the tracery of her fine lines

 Like the moonlight lacetops of the evening pines

 Like a song half heard through a closed door

 Like an old book when you cannot read the writing anymore

 

 How innocent her visage as my child lover lies

 Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes

 Like an antique etching glass design

 That somehow turned out wrong

 I keep looking through old varnish

 At my late lover's body

 Caught on ancient canvas

 And decaying...disappearing

 Even as I sing this song

 

 How secretly and silently my sorrow disappears

 You can't see it with your eyes or hear it with your ears

 It's like a Watermark that's never there and never really gone

 I keep looking through old varnish

 At my late lover's body

 Caught on ancient canvas

 And decaying...disappearing

 Even as I sing this song

 Even as I sing this song

 Even as I sing this song
