| A stick, a stone, it’s the end of the road
|
| It’s the rest of a stump, it’s a little alone
|
| It’s a sliver of glass, it is life, it’s the sun
|
| It is night, it is death, it’s a trap, it’s a gun
|
| The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush
|
| The nod of the wood, the song of a thrush
|
| The wood of the wing, a cliff, a fall
|
| A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all
|
| It’s the wind blowing free, it’s the end of a slope
|
| It’s a bean, it’s a void, it’s a hunch, it’s a hope
|
| And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March
|
| It’s the end of the strain, it’s the joy in your heart
|
| The foot, the ground, the flesh and the bone
|
| The beat of the road, a sling-shot stone
|
| A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light
|
| The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
|
| A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump
|
| It’s a girl, it’s a rhyme, it’s a cold, it’s the mumps
|
| The plan of the house, the body in bed
|
| And the car that got stuck, it’s the mud, it’s the mud
|
| Afloat, adrift, a flight, a wing
|
| A cock, a quail, the promise of spring
|
| And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March
|
| It’s the promise of life, it’s the joy in your heart
|
| A point, a grain, a bee, a bite
|
| A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night
|
| A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain
|
| A snail, a riddle, a wasp, a stain
|
| A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe
|
| A fish, a flash, a silvery glow
|
| And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March
|
| It’s the promise of life in your heart, in your heart
|
| A stick, a stone, the end of the load
|
| The rest of a stump, a lonesome road
|
| A sliver of glass, a life, the sun
|
| A night, a death, the end of the run
|
| And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March
|
| It’s the end of all strain, it’s the joy in your heart |
