lyrics

I'm chasing a watermark 
That hangs on a window seal 
Like a drop of the sun on a trail, alone 
I'm searching the afternoon 
To visit a flower to bloom  
And all of my crosses to bear have gone home 
 
What a romantic am I 
But I see that in you 
You're full of hope, big as the sky 
And it flows through you and I 
 
I go round and round 
Sometimes, not a single sound 
Though I, put it down to life 
And I, I'm just floating through this world 
 
We live with the love we make 
But we put the world at stake 
Cause why does the truth sometimes just fade? 
 
Now we've got a lovely start 
Yet leaving a question mark 
To gamble the wind another day (another day) 
 
Not as simple as it seems 
What a fool am I 
To tend the garden of my dreams 
While I'm passing by 
 
And I, I'm between me and you 
Separate souls are falling through 
All the safety nets, and I 
I'm just floating through this world 
 
Like a Mountaineer am I 
But I do look back 
To bear the tears as we climb by 
On our different tracks 
 
And I, I'm in love with where I've come 
Cause I, feel the peace that might be ours 
In a future day, then I 
Won't be floating through this world
