lyrics

The dew settles, the colours come out
And the river is energy, pushing atoms to the mouth
Would have a kinder disposition,
Had it any memory.

The sediment sours the cool water,
Tinges its depths with a deep murky lustre,
As if to cover old footsteps.
There are secrets kept within,
Where hearts have traveled, and lungs let the water in.

We don’t say what we all see.
It’s standing right before us, the breadth of the street.
It’s in our mothers and our fathers and in every syllable we speak.
It’s the white on every page that populates our history.

The bluestone is weathered on the bluestone walk.
The overhanging darkness is strangled by the saxophone’s squawk,
And the silent erosion beneath the bluestone blocks.
The motion rocks the city, though it’s no Shanghai.
We’ve a far surer footing but we never build as high.
We’re dredging the ocean floor.
I guess the lower we’re plunging, the further it feels to the sky.
