Toe In the Water

You hear the birds in my italic forest I smell the roses in your cement garden You snow around Around my head tomorrow I rain upon Upon your feet in sorrow Toe in the water Toe in the water You walk on mud along a thirsty river I see the trees I hear the leaves that shiver The snowy owl will fly around your silence Today is light Tomorrow will be darkness Toe in the water Toe in the water Whisper something in my ear Words I cannot hear There's a hole in a tree And somebody's watching me Like a big Black Woodpecker A big Black Woodpecker (Toe in the water) Toe in the water Toe in the water The lake with circles Circles like a necklace I see your face, I see a million freckles My red spotted My red Spotted Flycatcher You drink the lake I eat a Lesser Whitethroat Toe in the water River of dreams Toe in the water
