lyrics

With your hands in the dirt
And the rain and the cold and the call of the birds
The flocks are flying, the fragments are falling
The river runs, the wild geese are calling
Oh my heart you are so small
and you are so unmonumental
Worn smooth by the push and the pull of the waves
As they throw you each day to the shore

I do not know the way forward
I do not know the way back
But I am here
And that is all I have

And the night is the same as the day
‘Caus the space that contains us
Still moves in the same arrangement
The stars in the same constellations
Looked at through the eyes of the ancients
I am the shape of the waves that have formed me
I am all the people who have lived before me
The same life force in a new situation
Still tuned to the same radio station

The universe is moving
And we are moving too
But i’ve been here before
And i remember you
