All I heard was 'water' in an ancient
Language you never would expect.
Swiftly he rose from his stoney bench
And went to hear her request.


I saw a woman's shadow,
Fingers curled around the curtain.
One bare foot on the floor below,
The other against the jamb.


Chorus -

Water, cool, clear, water; a glass of water
With bubbles effervescing to the top;
Water, water, a glass of cool clear water.


A change came over him
As he saw her standing there.
He strode to the spring on a princely
Quest to fetch that elixer.


He returned with eyes half closed,
Her fingers cupping his head
As he leaned down to where she reposed,
Giving her the water requested.


Chorus -

Water, cool, clear, water; a glass of water
With bubbles effervescing to the top;
Water, water, a glass of cool clear water.


As she drank that elixer
Water droplets drifted to the floor
Golden motes puffed into the air
Her shadow showed she desired more


I couldn't see her as did he
Her gaze swept him to their dreamland.
We faded away, and he and she
Stood alone in their glimmer garden.


Chorus -

Water, cool, clear, water; a glass of water
With bubbles effervescing to the top;
Water, water, a glass of cool clear water
Water, water... cool... clear... water
