we're grey and we're gone
to write songs of the waters
that flow fast under the ground
and feed the flowers of our daughters
we're grey and we're gone
but i remember the day i met you
adventure etched into your lines
and the brave chin that led you
would in time become known to mine,
known to mine
so one day we will sleep
under the reach of the tales we've sown
that have grown as tall as six feet
one day we'll sleep
but even in the still and dark you're near
and our bones brittle turning dust will stay here
our bodies in the watershed will come in with the rain
every silty drop a hymn to sing to the hills again
