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 bridge
