Waterlily lyrics

Caught between the air and the windless deep You float like a lily flower And you look just like you fell to earth to sleep And you're waiting for your waking hour Chorus: And I swear to God I saw an angel hand attend you But that was just the dancing of the light No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you All hands have forsaken you tonight Are you dreaming of a lover who will carry you away? And keep you from the crying of the crowd? No cradle in the rushes, you are broken like the day And darkness all around you like a shrowd (Chorus) When they finally surrounded you, did any of them face you? And did you curse the moon and stars above? Those cruel arms abandoned you for water to embrace you Won't you lay your head, my waterlily love? (Chorus) Caught between the air and the windless deep You float like a lily flower And you look just like you fell to earth to sleep And you're waiting for your waking hour And you're waiting for your waking hour
