[Verse 1]

Morning light on still water

Two coffee thermoses in my truck

Your favorite spot by the willow

Where fish would always swim up

These hands still tie the same knots

That you taught me years ago

The empty seat beside me now

As dawn begins to show

[Chorus]

Drifting here without you

On waters we used to know

Speaking to the ripples

Watching memories flow

(Memories flow)

[Verse 2]

The tackle box still organized

Just the way you showed me then

Baseball cap worn at the edges

From days that wouldn't end

I pack sandwiches for two still

Old habits hard to break

Your voice in every cast I make

As morning starts to wake

[Chorus]

Drifting here without you

On waters we used to know

Speaking to the ripples

Watching memories flow

(Memories flow)

[Bridge]

Some days I swear I hear you laughing

When a big one gets away

The water holds so many echoes

Of everything we'd say

[Verse 3]

Each sunrise brings me back here

To share these quiet hours

The fish aren't really what I'm seeking

In these sacred morning powers

I close my eyes and feel you

Right here within this space

As gentle waves keep rolling

Through time I can't erase

[Chorus]

Drifting here without you

On waters we used to know

Speaking to the ripples

Watching memories flow

(Let the memories flow)
