Copper Shine

Cause a river ain't clear, don't mean it ain't pure
Never seen a crystal anyway
The land is rich salt and sediment for sure
Of the man who work hard for a dyin' day

Salt and sediment
Never knew what it meant
Ancestors flow divine
Shallows of the copper shine

Copper shine

Elbow deep, hand to the bottom
Can't see the skin best rejoice
Blood at the heart thickest we taught 'em
Runs red over thought of a choice

Salt and sediment
Never knew what it meant
Ancestors flow divine
In the shallows of the copper shine

Copper shine

Hotter than hell center of the hive
Where black and yellow seem to fade
The queen of contrast feels so alive
Never had her day in the shade

Salt and sediment
Never knew what it meant
Ancestors flow divine
In the shallows of the copper shine

Copper shine

Inside solid are the teeth, steel and cogs
They give life to periphery wanders
It's a sparkly hollow, twist the dial turn the knobs
Lost the hum of the furnace over yonders
