Water on Glass
"Water on Glass" is the third single by British singer Kim Wilde from her self-titled album.
A slightly different version of the song was featured on Wilde's eponymous debut album. It was released in the UK, Ireland and The Netherlands only with the non-album track "Boys" on the B-side. It just missed becoming Wilde's third consecutive UK Top 10 hit. The song was also the first track by Kim Wilde to appear on a Billboard chart, reaching #52 on the Top 60 Rock Tracks on May 15, 1982.
The song is about tinnitus, a medical condition that causes ringing in the ears.

Water on glass
by: Kim WildeWritten by Ricky & Marty Wilde
Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That I feel and it shuts me in a prison
Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again I feel a shiver
Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (Can you hear it)
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
