Waters Of March |
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 knot in the wood |
The song of a thrush, the wood of the wind |
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 beam, 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 all strain, it’s the joy in your heart |
The foot, the ground, the flesh and the bone |
The beat of the road, a slingshot stone |
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow |
A fight, a bet, the range of a bow |
The bed of the well, the end of the line |
The dismay in the face, it’s a loss, it’s a find |
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail |
A drip, a drop, the end of the tale |
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 |
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing |
A hawk, a quail, the promise of spring |
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March |
It’s the end of all strain, it’s the joy in your heart |
A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe |
It’s a thorn in your hand or a cut on your toe |
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 pass in the mountains, a horse and a mule |
In the distance the shelves, grow three shadows of blue |
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 the stump, a lonesome road |
A sliver of glass, a life, a 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 |
