the water is calm
the night is clear
and the moon's in full
i'm not quite sure
how i ended up here
but my raft keeps afloat
as i drift through the moat
i'm ready for a change
of course, not done by me
i'm ready for a chance
certainly not given willingly
i'll say what you want to hear
so you will leave me bare
time slips up the river
you can never get it back
just watch it lead the way
you can follow all you want
to reject is to chase
and so a bitter cycle comes to your embrace
