Under The Bridge by The Samples Lyrics

My mother went this morning
October in the fall
There wasn't any warning
And no good friends to call

(Chorus):
It's just water under the bridge
It's just water under the bridge

Is this time to wipe my eyes
From staring at the sun?
All day long I heard the blackbird sing
What's it take to make him cry?

The sermon was empty
And there are clouds in my eyes
Mom and Dad turned to ashes and just blew away
Slip away little darlin'
Your angles are long gone
They're in the flame of a candle that's melting a new dawn
(Chorus)
For the rest of our lives we could live so free
Like a million flying birds
But I don't remember if it was you or me
Who sang these dying words...

(Chorus)
