lyrics

Oh, these children of ours
they live as we sleep
in houses of reed
they're learning to breathe
safely beneath

"Son, don't you ever encounter the rapids
they'll know you are close and they'll strike.
Under tension of surface I look up the sundown,
as you're walking your way back home
every day by dusk."

Oh, my tomb is my rest (where I'm at ease)
what we have become
just specters to some
we're living in peace
safely beneath.

In springtime the levels will rise and submerge
the housings and mounds without trace
and people will flee as we take to the land
walking on soil and it's grace
I'm counting days.

"Son, don't you ever encounter the rapids
they'll know you are close and they'll strike.
Under tension of surface I look up the sundown,
as you're walking your way back home
every day by dusk."
