Martina Sorbara Lyrics
"Ripples"

You say you're in love with the water
Let me be the ocean
If we sit silent in silence
I'll keep up if I can
Your words are the ripples
They're so quiet and safe
How's it that each one crashes on me
Like a wave?

How could I let you leave
Without explaining the way I could fall
How could I let you leave
At all
Without one last look at you
Not one last look at you
How could I let you go

And I know that you are leaving just the same
But it didn't even rain

As the image of you fades in me
I try to conjure a vision and it fails me
And with every effort it's as though my mind
Is teasing me
It's like a faint transparent, almost an outline
I work so hard to achieve even this, do
Do you try for mine? No, no

How could I let you leave
Without explaining the way I could fall
How could I let you leave
At all
Without one last look at you
Not one last look at you
How could I let you go

And I know that you are leaving just the same
But it didn't even rain

You say you're in love with the water
Let me be the ocean
If we sit silent in silence
I'll keep up if I can
You're in love with the water
Let me take her place
Though I'll have to admit I've never carried anyone away
You're in love with the water
Could I ever suffice?
Can you ever forgive me?
Can I ever do anything right?

No, no and how could I let you leave
Without explaining the way I could fall
How could I let you leave
At all
Without one last look at you
Not one. Not one last look at you
How could I let you go

And I know that you are leaving just the same
And I know that you are leaving just the same
And I know that you are leaving just the same
But it didn't even rain
