lyrics

I fell asleep beside a mountain stream
I slipped off into a dream
Of something that was so serene
Aqua Vitae

It entered into my veins
It entered in through my brains
This little liquid I have come to name
Aqua Vitae

Aqua Vitae wash over me
Aqua Vitae wash over me

When I awoke I looked around
But there was no Aqua to be found
Except for this vial at my feet
An organic concoction that can't be beat
I ran straight home just as fast as I could
Tried tellin' everybody in my neighborhood
Just two drops and you will find
Aqua Vitae will blow your mind

Aqua Vitae wash over me
Aqua Vitae wash over me

Aqua Vitae wash over me
Aqua Vitae wash over me

No one responded to my offer
The phone never rang, nobody even bothered
My small supply had run out
And I had to do something to appease my doubt
I planned a hike back to the stream
But when I arrived things weren't as they seemed
The creek bed had dried up on all sides
And I started to think it was all a lie

Just then I tripped over my shoelace
I fell back into the space
The space of a former place
Aqua Vitae
I started to sink down
In the magic stream that I again had found
And I'm not gonna share with anyone around
My Aqua Vitae

Aqua Vitae wash over me
Aqua Vitae wash over me
