Water Under The Bridge Lyrics & Chords By Wendy Wall

Water Under the Bridge

Everything seems so peaceful
the light on the still and the deep of the waters
is everyone out there at peace
and can we do right by our sons and our daughters

So it's begun, the slow set of the sun
when it's done may we rest from our labors
the moon lights a turn in the bend
over the rise of the fences of neighbors

Water runs under the bridge
through the years of the days we live
till we lay ourselves down to sleep
till we pray for our souls to keep
weeks pass, the seasons turn
through the years of our lessons learned
every day of the years we live
water runs under the bridge

Everything seems so peaceful
and still we're awash in the waves of our angers
here in a still that won't quiet that beast
or make us our peace or make neighbors of strangers

So it's begun, the slow set of the sun
when it's done may we rest from our demons
the wind sheds the seeds from the trees
and carries them over the hillsides to freedom

And water runs under the bridge
through the years, through the days we live
till we lay ourselves down to sleep
till we pray for our souls to keep
weeks pass, the seasons turn
through the years of our lessons learned
every trespass we can't forgive
water runs under the bridge

Still we hold our little hatreds
till they've stripped from us all we held sacred
till our teachers are rivers and rapids that wash over stones
that bow to the curve of the earth and carry us home

Everything seems so peaceful tonight
in the still at the banks of the waters
when did we trade in such peace
and what are we teaching our sons and our daughters

So it is done, the slow set of the sun
now the moonlight has mirrored the waters
the stars all cast out in the vast sky
over the rise of the fences and borders

And water runs under the bridge
through the years of the days we live
till we lay ourselves down to sleep
till we pray for new souls to keep
weeks pass, the seasons turn
through the years of our lessons learned
every day of the years we live
water runs under the bridge
every trespass we can't forgive
water runs under the bridge
