My love did go where fire pours out of the hillside, straight from the core With a loud silence, my heart, it did proclaim right from the start The sky she is a menace but the river she rolls free Turning stone to sand and wind to wave, its as it has to be The sky she rolls on endless, but the river flows confined Bringing current to the world and a stillness to the mind
As I comb this country bare, my lady hides in the thick air Search this whole world all and o'er, to find what she might have in store A ship goes tacking East to West, I stitch across her watery breast Just as the sea swallows the stars, a memory fades to what was ours
