At the time when Leah wrote “Water” she was dating her first love, Leah’s roommate told her, she was like water and he was holding her in his hands. They didn’t know it at the time but she was slipping through his fingers.
I met a stranger
Didn’t mean to, didn’t mean to
That’s the way it goes anyway
I met a stranger
At the top of a maze we just started making our way through
And I asked you everyday
Since I met you at the front gates
Which way, which way you gonna choose?
You had no play
You had no move
A stranger I was falling through
I was water
Water in your hands
Doing my best
My best to understand
No man loved me the way you do
Doesn’t mean water can’t fall through
Oh I was water
In your hands
Now back to the river runnin’
Catch me if you can
I loved a stranger
Didn’t mean to, didn’t mean to
You never knew who I was either
Just do you know not everybody is fair-weathered like you think they should be
All the time
And the grace of a woman doesn’t come from nothing it comes from
High tide
And the strength of a man is the courage to choose
Love over pride
I was water
Water in your hands
Doing my best
My best to understand
No man loved me the way you do
Doesn’t mean water can’t fall through
Oh I was water
In your hands
Now back to the river runnin’
Catch me if you can
You ask me if I been hurt before
But never let a blonde get in your way
Never let a blonde get in your way
You ask me if I been hurt before
But never let a blonde get in your way
Never let a blonde get in your way
