"Black Water, White Circle" lyrics - CROWDED HOUSE

CROWDED HOUSE
"Black Water, White Circle"

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

[Chorus:]
The black, and the white (Black water, white circle)
Become bright (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 (Black water)

Won't you please (White circle)
Let me know (Please let me know)
If you still believe in me
In this other place
Where the song
That plays on
Is completely unknown
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge:]
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 the water

[Chorus:]
Black water, white circle
Bright coloured rings around the star
Black water, white circle
Bright coloured rings around your heart
Black water, white circle
Please let me know that you believe in me
