The Water
|
|
The telegraph cables hum
|
Few can decipher who the message is from
|
And deliver it quietly
|
'Cause some don't get much company
|
|
The harbor becomes the sea
|
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
|
Understand the lay of the land
|
Don't let it hurt you
|
Or it will be the first to
|
|
|
The water
|
The water didn't realize
|
Its dangerous size
|
The mountain
|
The mountain came to recognize
|
Its steep and rocky sides
|
More than realized
|
|
Pale as a pile of bones
|
You hope for your babies and this is how they grow
|
Wind-battered, knocked over
|
The teeth by the shoulder
|
Watching the gray sky that's
|
acting like a good guy
|
|
The water
|
The water came to realize
|
Its dangerous size
|
The mountain
|
The mountain came to recognize
|
Its steep and rocky sides
|
Came to recognize
|
Its steep and rocky sides
|
More than realized
|
