lyrics

The Old Man of the hill led me to a sacred spring.
Bourne, life giver,
with liberty's magic, carry me to the river.

By chalk clear water I travel, as reality and time unravel.

Shrouded in water, face to the sky,
crack willow, alder glide by.
Brook trout, chevin, dace. Across my dream they chase.

Water nymphs hatch myriad kind,
Reflections dapple across my mind.

As liberty's magic releases its gentle grip,
a tragic reality hits.
The stream is now a dead ratty ditch,
an urban, subversive itch,
for rain, and our effluent, and detritus to drain.
Under road and street,
boxed, concealed, defiled, denied.

As grief drips from my face,
lugubrious drops linger and trace,
pendulously hang, and ponderously they break.

We are the earth, we are the trees,
we are the rivers and the seas.
I am you, you are me,
and everything and nothing.
Forever and a while…
