And Then I Found Fifty Dollars - Beneath The Surface lyrics

Our spring arrives

And with it the rain

Cleansing and awakening

All that surrounds

The quaint little pond

Imbibing the showers

Ceases stagnation

And starts to swell

The water shimmers in the sunlight

Crystal clear, it seems

Healthy and pure

But it's depths can be deceiving

Obscuring from view

That all is not well

There is something beneath the surface

There is something amiss

She's fading

But I still feel her kiss

Winter ensues

And brings the cold

The pond has frozen

Now all has changed

It's surroundings are forced to withdraw

Kept at bay by a crystalline sheath

It's depths are shrouded more than ever

Mystifying all within their realm

All that was clear is now uncertain

One cannot know what lies beneath

There is something beneath the surface

There is something amiss

She's fading

But I still feel her kiss

Her mother tells her

That nobody has to know

Her mother tells her

That it's best not to let it show

They live in fear and isolation

And there is no one to whom to turn

There is something beneath the surface

There is something amiss

She's fading

But I still feel her kiss
