Dear someone listening in the shadows
I only talk to you sometimes
And though I ask for help in riddles
It is clearer in my mind, clearer in my mind
Born of a sign that carries water
But in a month that's cold as ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I have never questioned if I've loved
Dear someone watching from the shadows
See me clenching water in my fists
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
But there's water on my lips, water on my lips
Born of a sign that carries vessels
But in a month that brings just ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I've never wondered if I've loved
Dear someone watching from the shadows
You've seen me lose all the water from my hands
I'm not a skillful water carrier
But the raindrops keep falling on my head, falling on my head
Born of a sign that carries water
But in a month that brings just ice
I'm not a skillful water carrier
But I've learned to carry love,
learned to carry love...
I only talk to you sometimes
And though I ask for help in riddles
It is clearer in my mind, clearer in my mind
Born of a sign that carries water
But in a month that's cold as ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I have never questioned if I've loved
Dear someone watching from the shadows
See me clenching water in my fists
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
But there's water on my lips, water on my lips
Born of a sign that carries vessels
But in a month that brings just ice
I know I question things too quickly
But I've never wondered if I've loved
Dear someone watching from the shadows
You've seen me lose all the water from my hands
I'm not a skillful water carrier
But the raindrops keep falling on my head, falling on my head
Born of a sign that carries water
But in a month that brings just ice
I'm not a skillful water carrier
But I've learned to carry love,
learned to carry love...

it's obviously about the astrological sign. "dear someone listening in the shadows / i only talk to you sometimes" etc reminds me of my mother who died last year. i might be projecting that, but it could be about a person she knows who died, or i could see it being god or something.
ps: most astrology books say "Aquarians" for the plural of "Aquarius." it sounds much softer.
i love her wording to describe the attributes of an Aquarius!
