Stacey Kent - Waters of March lyrics
[Stacey Kent - Waters of March lyrics]
A stick, a stone it's the end of the road
It's the rest of the stump
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass
It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms a fox in the brush
The knot in the wood the song of the thrush
The wood of the wind a cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump it is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free
It's the end of a slope
It's a beam, it's a void
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the riverbank talks
Of the water of march
It's the end of the strain
It's the joy in your heart
The foot, the ground the flesh, the bone
The beat of the road a slingshot stone
A fish, a flash a silvery glow
A fight, a bet the range of the bow
The bed of the well the end of the line
The dismay in the face
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike a point, a nail
A drip, a drop the end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
In the soft morning light
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
A mile, a must a thrust, a bump
It's a girl, it's a rhyme
It's the cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house the body in bed
The car that got stuck
It's the mud, it's the mud
A float, a drift a flight, a wing
A hawk, a quail the promise of spring
And the riverbanks talks
Of the waters of March
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart
A snake, a stick it is John, it is Joe
It's a thorn in your hand
And a cut on your toe
A point, a grain a bee, a bite
A blink, a buzzard
The sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle a sting, a pain
A snail, a riddle a weep, a stain
A pass in the mountains a horse, a mule
In the distance the shelves
Rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks
Of the promise of life
In your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone the end of the load
The rest of the stump a lonesome road
A sliver of glass a life, the sun
A night, a death the end of the run
And the riverbank talks
Of the waters of March
It's the end of all strain
It's the joy in your heart
It's the rest of the stump
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass
It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms a fox in the brush
The knot in the wood the song of the thrush
The wood of the wind a cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump it is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free
It's the end of a slope
It's a beam, it's a void
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the riverbank talks
Of the water of march
It's the end of the strain
It's the joy in your heart
The foot, the ground the flesh, the bone
The beat of the road a slingshot stone
A fish, a flash a silvery glow
A fight, a bet the range of the bow
The bed of the well the end of the line
The dismay in the face
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike a point, a nail
A drip, a drop the end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
In the soft morning light
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
A mile, a must a thrust, a bump
It's a girl, it's a rhyme
It's the cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house the body in bed
The car that got stuck
It's the mud, it's the mud

It's the promise of life
