lyrics

We walked out west whistling a shaky tune
Beneath the watchful eyes of the guardians of the moon
And we pressed our knuckles to the earth it pushed back
We left off a glinting cairn another notch in the sand

Iron bars segregate the light on sprawling clay
Lends a note of geometric grace to penetrate the day
There’s room enough between these trees to feel a soul slip free
This canopy cuts shards and splinters mirror scatterlings

By and by at Kissing Point we let our feet sink in
A patch of sky to float our prayers if He might still listen in
The waters swirled and bubbled as the land was changing shape
A whisper ran from leaf to leaf as the forest stirred awake

This river knows my name yeah it’s seen the world unfold
Branch to crooked branch tried to cross the river closed
It takes a man of wandering hand down between its shores
And when the mangroves rise you know they’re pushing down below
