My mother went this morning October in the fall There wasn't any warning There's no good friends to call It's just water under the bridge It's just water under the bridge Is this the time to wipe my eyes From staring at the sun All day long I heard the black bird sing What's it take to make him cry The Sermon was empty and there's clouds in my eyes Mom and Dad turned to ashes and just flew away Slip away little darling your angels are long gone There in the flame of a candle that's lighting a new dawn It's just water under the bridge It's just water under the bridge For the rest of our lives we could live so free Like a million flying birds I don't remember if it was you or me Who spoke these silent words It's just water under the bridge It's just water under the bridge It's just water under the bridge It's all been water under the bridge
