Runes on Water (wersja 2)

Verse

Black ink rising in the silver cup

Ripples spreading before they pop

Six lines crossing on the surface clear

A name I never wanted here

Fjord water holds what's been said

The ripples carry where the current led

Pre-Chorus

Can you read them as they spread

Before the ink dries in my head

Every line was carved to fall

This is how the rivers call

Chorus

Runes on water, nothing left behind

Only what it leaves before it finds me blind

I trace your name but I don't know what it says

Runes on water wash away at dawn

Verse

Your face leans close against the glass

Bubbles rising like a thousand mass

The ink dissolves long before the tide

Leaves no mark that can stay inside

Hands above the surface calm

Nothing written stays, nothing warm

Pre-Chorus

Can you read them as they spread

Before the ink dies in my head

Every line was carved to fall

This is how the rivers call

Chorus

Runes on water, nothing left behind

Only what it leaves before it finds me blind

I trace your name but I don't know what it says

Runes on water wash away at dawn

Bridge

No paper holds what drifts across

The current carries what the cup possesses

Every ripple was a secret kept

Underneath the ice where nothing sleeps

I let my palm go open wide

Watch the letters settle, float, divide

Chorus

Runes on water, nothing left behind

Only what it leaves before it finds me blind

I trace your name but I don't know what it says

Runes on water wash away at dawn
