BIRDSONG & WATER

For over ten years I kept looking at the sky ablaze
A body holding still for water's heart to shake this bitter embrace
Good pictures in my memory are fading just the same
But every birdsong fills this fractured self until light appears again

Birdsong and water
Attracting every lover
I'm searching for the center
Where love I know will carry us
Birdsong and water
You bring me calm in difficult times
When you cover me I'm totally fine

Flying over the canyons I looked down and started to weep
For all the land below is more gorgeous left alone in its native state
And every word I write is half of what my body keeps
Everything else burns on the altar where codes of justice fail

Birdsong and water
Attracting every lover
I'm searching for the center
Where love I know will carry us
Birdsong and water
You bring me calm in difficult times
When you cover me I'm totally fine

The nature of my inquiry pleads with the watchman cheering above
To Battersea my spirits take me where patriots once turned with love
Are now asleep with curtains of earth and bone all alone
But still they speak like birdsong and water coming home
Coming home

Birdsong and water
Attracting every lover
I'm searching for the center
Where love I know will carry us
Birdsong and water
You bring me calm in difficult times
When you cover me I'm totally fine
