The Water Knew

She's Bernadette, but he calls her Addie The lulling of crickets resounds on the patio The moon paints the lines of his hair and his khakis The Water stays blue The Water that recently witnessed their fighting Addie's fresh tears giving depth only slightly To the one entity that knows there might be something askew Now they're holding on to hope like they're holding on to each other He'll never let her go, he fights against the night air No one could have known the demise of these lovers was just around the corner But the Water knew The Water knew She goes by Kate, but he calls her Katherine He started to do just to make her mad because he likes her hair And her eyes, and her dad said he'd never break through So he picks her flowers each day by the shoreline The Water looks on, an unrecognized ally And waits for the imminent moment when he'll cry and she'll say "I do" Then they're holding on to hope like they're holding on to each other He'll never let her go, his hands tangle in his bride's hair No one could have known that the start of these lovers was just around the corner But the Water knew The Water knew The Water knew The Water knew The waves on the shore, never ceasing, may bore the increasing abhorrences Looking for lies, only the one who looks deeper The unsettled weeper, will notice the water's blue eyes She grew Kate's favorite flowers, held Addie for hours And these are just two of her million encounters Still nobody knows her, she tries to get closer To letting the world know of those she empowers But of all the things she is sure, no one will ever know her The Water knew The Water knew The Water knew The Water knew The Water knew
