The Genius of Water Lyrics
Meet me in the morning
At the bus stop
We'll ride into the town
Down to the square
To see the angel
See the angel in the fountain
Meet me in the morning
Meet me after daybreak
Tie your hair back
We'll drift into the crowd
Get lost among the loud
And they'll be singing
They'll be singing in our daydream
When we're tired we'll leave them all behind
And walk away
I love you
I love you
I love you a lot
Meet me in the courtyard
Where the saints pray
Musing in our stare
Still painfully aware
That there are others
Shoulds and woulds with names and faces
Close you eyes
And open up your mind
And hear me say
I love you
I love you
I love you a lot
See the angel
She's dancing in the water
Hear the angel
She's laughing in the water
Something in the way that you
Said you really felt that we could be
Good friends forever
..together for a long time
This is about the fountain in Fountain Square in Cincinnati. The artist's name for the topmost figure in the fountain is "The Genius of Water," which the song describes as "the angel." The fountain is more commonly called the "Tyler Davidson Fountain" because it was erected by Henry Probasco as a memorial to his brother-in-law Tyler Davidson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Davidson_Fountain
