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 brid
