THE KINGDOM OF HIGH WATER

You are the sun
I am the moon
The black river silt
Where the moonflowers bloom

I am the winter
You are the spring
The sweet thrush's voice
When the birds start to sing

You are the wind
When I'm lost in the clouds
The warmth on my skin
When the sun's shining down

You are the song
When I've lost the words
I follow it back
Like a little lost bird

I can feel your sorrow
Like an ancient injury
That is how I found you
That night by the Atlantic Sea

Like the north star, you're my constant
To the world, you bring back color
Remember where we come from
From the kingdom of high water

You burn red just like the sun
As it sets on the indigo sea
Alone in our togetherness
Two long lost souls at sea.
