Sunlight on Water Songtext
von David Gray

Thoughts are splintering like
Sunlight on water
Sunlight on water
After the fact
Baby, I can′t deny it
You know that I wanna
But honey, how am I gonna
Put all the pieces back?

Yeah, guess it's been a while
This painting by numbers
Blind eye to what hungers
Down in the deep
Trying to reconcile
With time slipping sideways
All these tricks that the light plays
Making it look like it′s ours to keep


We're the ones that waited all winter
Can't even begin to explain the way that felt
Yeah, we′re the ones that waited all winter
Collided right into our own true selves

Sometimes I say this stuff
Yeah, baby, sometimes I scream it
But you know I don′t mean it
Most the time anyway
I wrote your name in chalk
Right here on the pavement
Wonder where all the feet went
Rubbed those chalk words away

We're the ones that waited all winter
Can′t even begin to
Explain just what that does
To be the ones that waited all winter
Collided right into
The way it always was


This damn place gets so quiet
Think I'll sink like a stone some
Sit here picking the bones from
A whole heap of time
Got the moon out back
She′s calling out to me
Shining right through me
I'm hammered out so fine
I′m hammered out so fine
I'm hammered out so fine
