	Lyrics RIVER BED she fell asleep by the riverside and woke up in the sea sandy blonde locks brushing against the grass like drooping limbs of trees which bend to lap the water running steadily downstream... she could not run fast, though with the water all around her filling up her footprints with a salty silt quick as she could leave them her mouth bore strings of bubbles... wet like rain and lifting to the surface while she struggled, saying to herself... "be certain that the current does not try to take your pearls" but you see, the sea, it seems... she was after something else eventually she trusted that the liquid deep would hold her she surely wasn't floating... and with nowhere else to go abandoned all resistance to the mercy of blue wishes... like rivers all surrender to the ocean as they reach her soon she knew the movement of the tide from touching it back with the tiny hairs on her neck as they learned its motion much the way the sand comes to know the ocean perfectly uneven... indescribable expression peace and motion her hands were folded... they were limbs whose branches at their base were grown together long strong arms... layered ages... new as every season and her chin rested upon them like the sun sits low on the horizon her eyes were dark as passages hiding behind waterfalls which have no end... but catch light upon the minerals of their walls carved by water and life growing over their depths misty... curved and bent... like her neck as it whispered to the water arching back her chin to touch her... the sky shining itself on her edges... effervescent... finding a home on her face letting light be her reflection and her sight... a room into her world... guided only by her moments as it wrapped around her lips like a long kiss... where two become one... the sky and the sun... love and lover... body of water... and now the sea, it seems... she finally had what she was after
