Ripple In The Water

Ripple In The Water

Calling in the wind a name

But I am calling to deaf ears

Colliding together, this story's the same

A thousand times, a million tears

Rain on my head

More to be shed

Ripple in the water

Stain on my knee

Gap in my heart

Part in the sea

To each his own they say

To each his own I pray

To each his own they say

Happiness may find me someday

Ripple in the water

Stain on my knee

Gap in my heart 

Part in the sea

Waking from my constant nightmare

Only to find myself in another

Crying for help, hoping he might care

Yet my comfort is my dog and my cover
Pain in my head

Nothing to be said

Ripple in the water

Stain on my knee

Gap in my heart

Part in the sea

To each his own they say

To each his own I pray

To each his own they say

Happiness may find me someday

Ripple in the water

Stain on my knee

Gap in my heart 

Part in the sea

Climbing to the highest point in a tree

I fall down but try once again

And when I reach the top what will I see?

What am I seeking? I ask where and when?
Despite the blood

I fight this flood
