I'm ten feet under water

Standing in a sunken canoe

Looking up at the waterlillies

They're green and violet blue

Still the sun it finds

A place to light me

Still the sun it finds

That it's warm beside me.



Green and violet blue

No matter what you say no matter what

You do

I want to be the one and

Love is a sign.



The letters that were writing

Baby they just break our hearts

And when we get back together again

There's just no time to start.

No time to restore

It's all on the ground

What you've been doing

Against what i've found.

And this is what i find

No matter what you say no matter what

You do

I want to be the one and

Love is a sign.



I'm not a playboy or a poet

There's no cool water from the well

I wish you had a big house

And that your work would start to sell.

Wave after wave

Our tension and our tenderness.

Wave after wave

Our tension and our tenderness.

Green and violet blue

No matter what you say no matter what

You do

I want to be the one and

Love is a sign.



I know i'll see you again

The world is too big or too small.

I won't be the madman then

It will be me that's come to call.

Me in freezing weather

Snow cuffs on my wrist.

You down by the river

London no longer exists.

This is what i find

No matter what you say no matter what

You do

I want to be the one and

Love is a sign.
