rivers and roads, rivers and roads, rivers til I reach you..

look up at the treetops

see the sun flutter through

listen to the air as it's breathing

listen to the grass as it's growing

feel the river rushing,

down in your anxious bones

the fox is running,

quickly swiftly he goes

red flash, white tip

fading

awake my soul

the light is pulsing

down in the riverbed

the cool cool stones

know the tales of ages past

keeper of fallen trees

muddy toes, free floating laughter

on the summer breeze

icy berries in the snow

red with warning

lay yourself down in the lily fields

the snakes are belly up

coy smiles on their faces

heather mountain tops reaching

the place of dreams.

dream little dreamer

sleep these days

night is coming like a horseman

urgent lantern lights

demand your feet to dance.

toes like fallen stars.
