Lyrics:

I’ll take it back to the golden yesterday
To the greener grass of a distant field
Where the black rain clouds threatened everything
Every path was worn away
There was nothin’ left for us to say

The lightning cracked and the thunder moaned
Your pony took off to the hills
The wind was whistlin’ a sad, mournful song
You knew you could never forget
Cuz you couldn’t get it out of your head, but….

It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
Though I know you won’t forget it
It’s just water under the bridge
Water under the bridge

You’re people packed up, they just moved on
Left you standin’ in one place
Like a boulder that rolled down the mountain face
You finally found your place
And got yourself out of the race

Now, I don’t know much but I remember you
And all your wandering ways
Where did the wind go that used to push your sail
Maybe it’s all for the best
Though, there are things you best forget

It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
Though I know you won’t forget it
It’s just water under the bridge
Water under the bridge

He may still be livin in town
He may show his face sometimes
Just put up a wall that he cannot cross
No matter how hard he tries
No matter how hard he tries

Because he beat you down with his words
He cut you deep down inside
Broke your heart into a million pieces
But your soul he could never divide
No, the soul you can’t divide

It’s just water under the bridge
It’s just water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
Though I know you won’t forget it
It’s just water under the bridge
Water under the bridge

You may be beat and tired
Water under the bridge
You may feel left behind
Water under the bridge
You may be drowning in your pain
Water under the bridge
Just let it flow on by
Water under the bridge
