lyrics
In the morning at the kitchen table
I study the pattern on a china cup
Stem, node, shoot, bud, petal, leaf
I'm spilling coffee on the table top
Today I would write to you
If only I had words to use
To take a walk along the river
Where silver ripples and seagulls yell
Dogs on leads and bowing trees
Before the rains came, before the swell
And yesterday I woke in my bed
To the sound of birds' wings clapping overhead
My heart cries louder than the seagull
On this dry day and before the rains came
The river carries water to the sea
The birds carry my words
