Lyrics Whitacre: Water Night - Eric Whitacre, Eric Whitacre Singers

Whitacre: Water Night

Night with the eyes of a horse that trembles in the night
Night with eyes of water in the field asleep
Is in your eyes, a horse that trembles is in
Your eyes of secret water
Eyes of shadow-water
Eyes of well-water
Eyes of dream-water
Silence and solitude
Two little animals moon-led
Drink in your eyes
Drink in those waters
If you open your eyes, night opens doors of musk
The secret kingdom of the water opens
Flowing from the center of the night
And if you close your eyes
A river, a silent and beautiful current, fills you from within
Flows forward, darkens you:
Night brings its wetness to beaches in your soul
