Sparkling Waters

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Ah

Verse 1

The river speaks in silver tones tonight

And I am kneeling where the willows bend

My hands remember mornings on the stone

Where your laughter pooled like amber light

Verse 2

I carried salt along the winding path

I counted days by how the current turned

The moon my only witness on the bank

She saw me whisper promises to grass

Pre-Chorus

Oh how the water holds what I let fall

Oh how the river keeps what I cannot

Chorus

Sparkling waters carry my refrain

Sparkling waters soften every ache

Take my name where shadows never reach

Sparkling waters answer when I call

Answer when I call

Verse 3

The winter came and froze the gravel shore

Your letters turned to mist upon my tongue

I sang into the fog without a sound

And still the river bore me on to more

Verse 4

I built a boat from cedar and from doubt

I lashed my grief to every drifting oar

The current knows the path I cannot see

And loves me when the deeper rocks come out

Pre-Chorus

So let the water wash what I have held

So let the river carry me to home

Chorus

Sparkling waters carry my refrain

Sparkling waters soften every ache

Take my name where shadows never reach

Sparkling waters answer when I call

Answer when I call

Bridge

And if the morning finds me standing bare

Let the river sing with me

Let the river sing with me

Let the river sing

Final Chorus

Sparkling waters carry my refrain

Sparkling waters soften every ache

Take my name where shadows never reach

Sparkling waters answer when I call

Oh answer when I call

Answer when I call
