Watching the Water Lyrics

I hope you don't remember
everything I said
memories like roses
fading in my head
things I said in anger
I should have said with love
you know some people never find
what we've had plenty of
don't you think I worry
do you really think I know
don't you think I wonder
where the hell I'm going
and I'm waiting for the water
waiting for the rain
to wash away the pictures in my head
I know I'll never see again
watching the water
waiting for the rain
walking in the water
tasting the rain
watching the water
waiting for the rain
walking in the water
tasting the rain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Napolitano could never stop Mark Moreland from drinking, and she was tortured by her inability to do that. She wrote many songs with that issue as an undercurrent. This song is really beautiful, but you'll probably never hear it.
