Water Song - Colin Hay

This boy and girl were lovers

Came from different towns

Now they both live in the same one

See each other round

He saw her at the rose bowl

Just the other day

She showed him what she bought there

And they struggled for what to say

They say we’re made mostly of water

So how come we can’t find the sea?

They say true love creeps up on you slowly

Oh how blind some people can be

This boy and girl had troubles

Lasted fifteen rounds

Both threw in the towel

No one took the crown

And time it tends to pass us

As we look the other way

Now he sells insurance

And she’s in a non-union play

Oh how i wish we were like water

We’d float on down into the sea

If you find true love at your door knocking

Invite her in make her some tea

This boy and girl were lovers

Came from different towns

Now they both live in the same one

See each other round

They say we’re made mostly of water

So how come we can’t find the sea?

They say true love creeps up on you slowly

Oh how blind some people can be
