(A. C. Jobin)
|
A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road,
|
It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone,
|
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun,
|
It is night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun.
|
The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush,
|
The nod of the wood, the song of a thrush,
|
The wood of the wing, a cliff, a fall,
|
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all.
|
It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of a slope,
|
It's a bean, it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope.
|
And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March,
|
It's the end of the strain, it's the joy in your heart.
|
The foot, the ground, the flesh and the bone,
|
The beat of the road, a sling-shot stone,
|
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light,
|
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night.
|
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump,
|
It's a girl, it's a rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps.
|
The plan of the house, the body in bed,
|
And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud.
|
Afloat, adrift, a flight, a wing,
|
A cock, a quail, the promise of spring.
|
And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March,
|
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart.
|
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite,
|
A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night,
|
A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain,
|
A snail, a riddle, a wasp, a stain.
|
A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe,
|
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow.
|
And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March,
|
It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart.
|
A stick, a stone, the end of the load,
|
The rest of a stump, a lonesome road.
|
A sliver of glass, a life, the sun,
|
A night, a death, the end of the run.
|
And the riverbank talks of the Waters of March,
|
It's the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart.
