	In Peterborough, New Hampshire, the rivers Nubanusit and Contoocook come together and flow onward as one. Listen as one river deity seduces the other!

	Story Behind the Song The Nubanusit and Contoocook river confluence happens in Peterborough, New Hampshire, home of the MacDowell Lake artists' colony and the music school where Polly Moller took a week-long flute masterclass in July of 2000. On dark, starry nights walking home to the place where she was staying, Polly imagined the deities of the two New England rivers meeting, greeting, and one seducing the other into a dance. She wrote the lyrics and the flute part while she was still in Peterborough, and completed the song back home in California. Lyrics "Three Quarters (Nubanusit and Contoocook)" Lyrics copyright 2000 Polly Moller/Silver Wheel Music Oppressive day relieved by night Secretive thoughts mused out of sight Long curling hair coming unbound In my fingers' memory, a thrilling persistent sound Swing and promenade and see Three-quarters of a dance with me Woods and mist too thick to see this modern world and my victory is short-lived, for you won't give the gift I wish of you I won't take more than I deserve and to give to me would seal your union with all particles of me each one begun within the sun to light your way Gaze upon the river and its trees see how the stones lie still while waters travel by eternally In this universe only I can see I shifted you and the water swerved to flow by crookedly Show me your spear-hand's strength Breathe in my scent and understand Meet me in uncertain time Three-quarters of a glass of wine Three-quarter moon shines down In dappled white and shade, look down, perceive the road Lilies burn in the darkness of the wood floating above the silence, singing stars Perfection's sphere is formed round you and me The road leads on, but before you go, dance with me
