Chorus
The stream flows through the fields
I sit and watch its life before me flow
The stream winds round the trees
I sit in silence, happy just to breathe
Fish dart about content in their lives
Sending up bubbles onto their sky
I try to answer, engraving in water
Words, useless words, but I’ve no other way
Chorus
The current is strong, erasing the letters
Of the name of a girl whom I never have met
Someone I’d like so much to be beside me
Someone with whom I could watch this bright world
Chorus
Evening descends on the brook and the trees
Dragonflies hover over the reeds
Leaning my face out over the still water
I see my reflection. I see a fool.
