Across the Water |
| To the fickle let it drop, we have the power to sustain |
| Like the motor needs the food to bring real power to our brain |
| Now we bought it back, so let me make it plain |
| Since our mother’s gone, it always seems to rain |
| And the booze and the friends and the party never ends |
| No excuse for behavior that no one can defend |
| We reflect in the quiet, times inside our heads |
| And get thanks for our children tucked up sweetly in their beds |
| Inside their heads |
| Trickling water dripping down |
| Slow like some rivers, without a sound |
| Passed many times since you were at my side |
| I’m still here, but I keep you deep inside |
| With my hands across the water, with my two feet in the sea |
| My fear is for my daughters But will God wash over me? |
| Take our lambs off to the slaughter, take their lives so perfectly |
| Like your bricks are filled with mortar, cast your wisdom to the brede |
| Cracks and falt lines, New York City talks to me |
| Slow like some re-runs on our mother’s T. V |
| New York City |
| She speaks to me in tongues |
| Keeps me to her breast, pumps air into my lungs |
