I saw whitecaps on the water today Fifteen minutes after you went away Couldn't find a reason to make you stay It's windy now, but it's gonna be okay I saw a black butterfly lose its wings today Singed by the candle underneath the archway Wherever they land, they'll have to stay Who can say, but what a price to pay Whitecaps on the water But that's okay Ain't never been a storm I'm runnin' from Come my way Weather man said it would be easy Over in a day It's windy now, but it's gonna be okay For the life of me, I just can't recall It's still a mystery, that's ‘Cause dark gallows lead to brighter halls And masquerade, masquerade Whitecaps on the water But that's okay Ain't never been a storm I'm runnin' from Come my way Weather man said it would be easy Over in a day It's windy now, but it's gonna be okay I saw whitecaps on the water today Fifteen minutes after you went away
