Lyrics:

On a dark and rainy night in spring of way back when
I picked up a liar standing in the pouring rain
She was but a young girl but her eyes were very old

Come to me and teach me wisdom
Come to me and fill me with your dreams
'Cause I don't believe
Teach me the power of the Water

Her eyes were blue like the ocean and the lakes below
And spoke of a wisdom forgotten long ago
Scoffing, I was taken toward the end of the pier
In the black of night
And introduced to the Water

Running and screaming, I fled for the shore
As the wind and rain violently whipped her face and breasts
A calm gait and proud air
As she affixes my eyes to her magical stare
Fearing for my life, and I now believe

My mind, heart, and soul were throbbing in the
Current I was caught up in
We flipped the coin that paved the way for our eternity
The sun of purity and hope would be replaced
By a lifetime of regret

One day you will be alone and
You won't have me, but you'll wish I'm here
But I don't believe

I now know the power of the Water
I now know the power of the woman
(She was just sixteen)
And blue magical, mystical eyes
(That you can drown in)
