she loved a man who would not settle down, down, down
she wanted love and a wedding gown, gown, gown
in the water, neptune's daughter, no sound, sound, sound
she is waiting there
what a face, what a heart so sweet, sweet, sweet
eyes like the sky, her hair just like wheat, wheat, wheat
wilting in the sun, wilting in the heat, heat, heat
she is waiting there
just waiting there
she is waiting there
will her lover still love her when she is gone, gone, gone
the water's cold upon her skin, skin, skin
she thought of love and could only grin, grin, grin
she's tracing circles in the water with a spin, spin, spin
she is waiting there
sometimes she thinks she can fly, fly, fly
but she comes down when she starts to cry, cry, cry
she paints a private world and doesn't say why, why, why
she is waiting there
she is waiting there
will her lover still love her when she is gone, gone, gone
lovers are dancers inside the fire of life
lovers feel each other inside the fire of life
lovers are falling inside the fire of life
lovers evolving into the endless night, night, night
she loved a man who would not settle down, down, down
she wanted love and a wedding gown, gown, gown
in the water, neptune's daughter, no sound, sound, sound
she is waiting there
what a face, what a heart so sweet, sweet, sweet
eyes like the sky, her hair just like wheat, wheat, wheat
wilting in the sun, wilting in the heat, heat, heat
she is waiting there
just waiting there
she is waiting there
will her lover still love her when she is gone, gone, gone
oh...
