Black Water, White Circle
Neil Finn

I took my prize  
From the land of plenty
Now miles away
I’m almost empty
Libera la mente
Wherever you are

The pale moonlight
Is now presenting
On the mirror lake
The willow bending
The flame ascending
Our love consenting to go further 

Black water, White circle
Bright coloured rings around the star
Luminescent eyes
That look out of the incoming waves tonight my love

And from our beds
Creep wingless angels 
With bleeding hearts
I must be dreaming
The lizard screaming
Don’t look for meaning, only purpose
For heaven's sake

Won’t you please let me know
If you still believe in me
In this other place 
Where the song
That plays on 
Is completely unknown

She is the force that leads me to the lake on the day of the dead
A face I’ll never forget
A black and white vignette
Reflected in water 

Black water, white circle
Bright coloured rings around your heart
Black water, White circle
Please let me know that you believe in me
