Water Between Us |
| A holy ghost hangs in our trees |
| A cool eye watching over these |
| And every perfect, crooked thing; |
| While every crooked dream |
| Imagines that it walks between |
| Straight arrow days… |
| Great water lies between us |
| I’m bending at the knee— |
| Great water lies between us |
| Great water gives my face right back to me |
| Words may all escape me now |
| And any song they do allow |
| Will pull the blinds and push me to the floor |
| There are lost among the found |
| Who follow at the hollow sound |
| Of every shoe outside the door… |
| Great water lies between us |
| A vain and reckless sea— |
| Great water lies between us |
| Great water lies, but won’t lay down with me |
| The tongues have been cut from the bells |
| Lest they swing out loud and tell |
| How still we hide away |
| Shadows whisper by like brooms |
| Skirting halls to basement rooms; |
| They hunker low, waiting out the day… |
| Great water lies between us |
| Great water moves below— |
| Great water lies between us |
| Great water begs we both arise and go |
| Measured up against the air |
| Everything’s beyond compare; |
| We’ve never been what we are right now before— |
| Our victories are unconfirmed |
| Beyond the pale of what we’ve learned; |
| But our empty hands are open as a door |
| Great water lies between us |
| The way it knows to do— |
| Great water lies between us |
| Great water begs I walk across to you |
