look at me through eyes of water
and let our reflections touch
stay out of breath and kiss me
we’ll live on the water in our mouths

look at me through eyes of water
and let our reflections touch
stay out of breath and kiss me
we’ll live on the bread in our eyes

sing to me through lips of water
and let our reflections dance
stay out of breath and kiss me
we’ll live on the water in our eyes

we’ll live on the music in our mouths
