Waters of March

A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road It's the rest of a 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 A knot of the wood, the song of a 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 the slope It's a beam, it's a void It's a hunch, it's a hope And the riverbank talks of the waters of March It's the end of the strain It's the joy in your heart The foot, the ground The flesh and the bone The bеat of the road, a slingshot's stone A truckload of bricks In the soft morning light Thе 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 a cold, it's the mumps The plan of the house, the body in bed And the car that got stuck It's the mud, it's the mud A float, a drift, a flight, a wing A cock, a quail, the promise of spring And the riverbank talks of the waters of March It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart A point, a grain, a bee, a bite A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain A snail, a riddle, a wasp or stain A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe A fish, a flash, a silvery glow And the riverbank talks of the waters of March It's the promise of life in your heart In your heart A stick, a stone, the end of the load The rest of a stump, a lonesome road A sliver of glass, a life, the sun A knife, 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
