Still water, still something’s moving Still you, I can still feel you There’s a little pond where the seasons change Nothing ever stays quite the same A fallen leaf breaks the quiet blue And all at once, I’m back with you You said, “Don’t wait for me” I watched the ripples fade into the light Wondering if my words ever reached you I never meant to make you carry me I only wanted you to feel free I never knew how much I’d hurt you I never knew Let your pain fade away Let the waves carry it away Let your fears fade away Let the water wash them away But don’t let that day fade away Don’t let it drift away Not your love, not your love A silver fish disturbs the glass Another ripple from the past You said, “It hurts,” I heard you too late I never knew the weight you carried every day I never knew The water settles, then moves again I can’t tell where one ripple ends Will our feelings linger just the same? Let your pain fade away Let the waves carry it away Let your fears fade away Let the water wash them away But don’t let that day fade away Don’t let it drift away Not your love, not your love Then came the wind across the lake A thousand little waves began to wake And through the noise, I heard you say The words I’d waited to hear all those days I won’t repeat them, I don’t need to Some things are real without being spoken twice And if the wind should take them too I’ll keep the way they moved through me Let your pain fade away Let the waves carry it away Let your fears fade away Let the water wash them away But don’t let that day fade away Don’t let it drift away Not your love, not your love A little stone inside my palm One more ripple if I let it fall The evening sky fades into blue The wind comes back, and so do you I know, I know, you can rest your heart Beneath the blue, the water’s still And you’re still here… Forgive me For keeping you here
