Cascading down There's a sound vaporising into vision It's a sound in my head That I feel and it shuts me in a prison Say it won't last Say it will pass Always the sound in my brain Can you hear it Water on glass running down again Water on glass that sound Water on glass running round again Help me, the sound of running water's Coming down Dancing away Like the lights on a moving coloured river Sounds in my head seem to run And again I feel a shiver Say it won't last Pray it will pass Always that sound in my brain Can you hear it (Can you hear it) Water on glass running down again Water on glass that sound Water on glass running round again Help me, the sound of running water's Coming down Water on glass running down again Water on glass that sound Water on glass running round again Help me, the sound of running water's Coming down
