 (pull on to )
When  the wind is  with with but  somehow out of sight
 not  knowing where it  comes from but where it  goes
that's  the way your  memory shapes  the middle of my nights
 since  the last time  I saw you and the words you chose
 when  I said this must be what love is like I saw  it in a dream
 you looked  into my eyes and said you don't know what  you mean
cause  love is for  the fishermen who cast  his nets too far upstream
fishing  for the moon  in the water
 so I act now like as if I forgot my efforts all in vain
 I spent some time with a new girl who made the simple world seem fine
 but like a rose placed in a flower pott her true nature contained
 not knowing what she asks for or what she'll find
 but she says if I ever had love in my life then surely this is it
 I said anyone who talks like that doesn't understand one bit
 that love is for the fighter born to loose but never quit
 swinging for the the moon in the water
so  I left her with her dreams where I though  that she belonged
now  with my secrets which she heard but shenever  knew
 i hope my loneliness finds peace
 I hope my number  had been drawn when  all i wanted from her was to remind  me of you
 so I stay out in the streets hoping to find you anywhere
 now that I understnad the woman you need to be
 I can feel you in the heat I could taste you in the air
 and I can't help but find your face in everything i see
 and once I can admit you're gone I place it on a star
 and wait for the day I'm what you need and then reach out for you heart
 cause even if love is if more my mistress than my lovers ever are
 you'll always be the moon in the water
 you'll always be the moon in the water
