Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fold my hands at the basin
Cold water wakes my name
It slips through stone and fingers
And leaves me rearranged
Cherry petals on my shoulders
Smoke curls slow in the air
I came here one way
I go back somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it turn me over
Let it teach my eyes
What I call a river
Can be a thousand lives
[Chorus]
Kawa no hana
Wash me new
Kawa no hana
Show me truth
(Show me truth)
From the pond to the rain
From the tear to the sea
Kawa no hana
Carry me
(Carry me)
[Verse 2]
In the tea room, morning trembles
On a cup of pale blue glaze
Every drop becomes a mirror
Every mirror shifts its face
Incense in the doorway
Blossoms brushing by
One breath can be a prayer
One wave can change the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it turn me over
Let me lose the line
Where the wound ends
And the soft light starts to shine
[Chorus]
Kawa no hana
Wash me new
Kawa no hana
Show me truth
(Show me truth)
From the pond to the rain
From the tear to the sea
Kawa no hana
Carry me
(Carry me)
[Bridge]
Still water, deep water
Holding what I fear
Moving water, clear water
Bring me close, then near
If I break, let me glimmer
If I bend, let me live
What I take from the river
Is the way to give
[Final Chorus]
Kawa no hana
Wash me new
Kawa no hana
Show me truth
(Show me truth)
From the pond to the rain
From the tear to the sea
Kawa no hana
Carry me
(Carry me)
Kawa no hana
Let me be
(Kawa no hana)
