Lyrics
If You were a river and I was the sea
Eventually the tides would bring you back to me
So you could bathe in my vast ocean
drown in waves of My emotion,
feel the strength of My devotion
If you were a painter
and I was your canvas
Would You sit back and leave me white?
or would you paint me back into your life?
Cause for a moment I was yours and you were mine
In that space the opening was so divine
yet other lovers, geography all but the weather
seem to keep us from coming together
Karmic Burning olny stops us even though
Ill always be your girl, I think you know
If I were a tattoo,
I'd be that cross etched upon your skin
placed above your heart forgiving all your sins
If You were a season
You'd be winter into spring
radiating light on the earth were I stand
You'd keep me flowering
Maybe somewhere in another life
I could have been your wife
or an ill fated lover not meant to be
You think this time we'd get it right
if I'd just kissed You by the waterfall
maybe none of this would be happening at all
when will this aching subside?
From this fire that won't seem to die,
sometimes I just wanna cry,
but at least I know i'm still alive
Karmic burning oh oh oh
karmic Burning oh oh oh
For a moment I was yours
and you were mine
in that space the opening was so divine
still other lovers geography, all but hte weather
seem to keep us from coming together
Karmic burning only stops us even though
I'll always be your girl I think you know
Karmic Burning oh oh oh...
