Water
Tonight i met a skeleton
He reached and took me by the hand. as I shivered from the cold
He told his story, straw to gold
And back again, because at last-
We leave belongings in the past
He said, "I'm looking for a drink
To make me cry and help me sing."
A song came from the deep
Underneath the city streets
Like water
You think you can do without
But you need water
He couldn't dance
Because his bones
All clicked and creaked-
The ivory stones
(The water singing under his feet
The words he hummed
The whispering trees...)
A song came from the deep
Underneath the country streets
Like water
You think you can do without
But you need water
When I don't find what I seek
And the night pushes me to sleep
The river coursing underneath
Sleep to wake
Wake to dream
He reached and took me by the hand. as I shivered from the cold
He told his story, straw to gold
And back again, because at last-
We leave belongings in the past
He said, "I'm looking for a drink
To make me cry and help me sing."
A song came from the deep
Underneath the city streets
Like water
You think you can do without
But you need water
He couldn't dance
Because his bones
All clicked and creaked-
The ivory stones
(The water singing under his feet
The words he hummed
The whispering trees...)
A song came from the deep
Underneath the country streets
Like water
You think you can do without
But you need water
When I don't find what I seek
And the night pushes me to sleep
The river coursing underneath
Sleep to wake
Wake to dream
