Pools of Eden
By the pools of Eden
My love and I did lie
And gazed into the season
Of the things we can't deny
And looked for some tomorrow
For the flower that won't die
By the mirror pools of Eden
I told my love goodbye
Caustic and angered
Hurtful and scared
Impossibly tangled
Perfectly paired
We're beaten to the riverside
The pools of Eden clear
Your shadow flickers in my eyes
And I watch you disappear
As the water washеs over you
All our sins forgiven herе
By the mirror pools of Eden
So far away from home
Your soul belongs to no one
And some things are never known
As the water washes over you
