Across the misty water
In his hold along the ancient stream
With a kiss he taught her
How the weather, it’s a love extreme

Bitter misty water
Such a distance from her blazing dream
With a twist he taught her
How with cold there often dawns a steam

Life’s a mystery tangle
There’s a rainbow over cloudy shores
Prism snaps an angle
And a colour from a pearl outpours

Hear the birds a-whistling
Through a territory conspired with snow
Steer their world by shifting
With the feathers of a common glow

So you can drink the misty water
The deep exists as he still taught her
Yeah you can drink the misty water
The fever missed but he still caught her

He wants to be
With nobody else, in the penetrating freeze
He’s just gotta show
That in this world full of contradiction
You sit back, and let pass, and hold on
And watch the river flow

Pass the misty water
And precipitated chill unseen
Here exists a shelter
In a place that’s only warm

So you can drink the misty water
The deep exists as he still taught her
Yeah you can drink the misty water
The fever missed but he still caught her

You can drink the misty water
You can drink it
You can drink the misty water
Oh cup your hands and dip in to show

You can drink the misty water
You can drink it
You can drink the misty water
