I looked into the darkened water
(A perfect mirror of this place).
I looked into the blackened water
And I saw your smiling face.
I cried out and struck the lake,
Breaking up the mirror sight.
I split the stars across the lake
To tear your face across the night.
But you reformed of the waves
As they settled over time.
I saw no change among those waves,
But suddenly your face was mine.

I looked into the darkened water
(A perfect mirror of this place).
I looked into the blackened water
And I saw your smiling face.
I cried out and struck the lake,
Breaking up the mirror sight.
I split the stars across the lake
To tear your face across the night.
But you reformed of the waves
As they settled over time.
I saw no change among those waves,
But suddenly your face was mine.
