Water & Love
Next time that you can
lower down your hand
into the river, and let the mem’ries flow past
~
Life is always changing shape
But whatever form it wants to take
It’s the water that holds the memories that last
CHORUS
Listen to the Earth speak, listen to her heart beat
When you’re dancing, your heart opens wide
It’s easy to see, it’s not us and them, it’s you & me
All life is made of water and love
harmonica stanza
It rains down, we rise up
swimming in the hole we dug - while our/the
babies are building castles on the sand
~
it’s the water that holds the love
like the spirit is in the blood
the present is the future in the past
CHORUS
Listen to the Earth speak, listen to her heart beat
When you’re dancing, your heart opens wide
It’s easy to see, it’s not us and them, it’s you & me
All life is made of water and love
harmonica stanza
Relations with tails
feathers and scales
The swimmers, and crawlers, and birds
~
you could stop the song, cut the sound
but what goes around comes around
the voices of all creation will be heard
CHORUS
Listen to the Earth speak, listen to her heart beat
When you’re dancing, your heart opens wide
It’s easy to see, it’s not us and them, it’s you & me
All life is made of water and love
It’s easy to see, it’s not us and them, it’s you & me
All life is made of water and love
All life is made of water and love

The Girl Who Walks The World - Matt Epp Lyrics and Music
come now friend, we’ve lost our way
we lost the scent, it’s washed away
mountains bend, and flowers fade
but their songs will always find you
as we walk in our dreams, where the wild things stalk us
as we move on the earth, hear the animals talk to us
and when you wake in the shadows, you can laugh
it’s just a night full of tricksters - that’s all you’ve had
Oooo, and she walks so soft
the Wandering girl
oh the light she brought
The girl who walks the world
oh the girl she is young, and her body is small
and the place that she’s from is nowhere at all
she sings like the wind, and she sleeps like the dead
while the wawatay (northern lights) are dancing - like newlyweds
Oooo, and she walks so soft
the Wandering girl
oh the light she brought
The girl who walks the world
does creator speak through burning trees?
or do we walk together through forest green?
if the rivers run red or the river runs black
if the river runs - she won’t come back
Oooo, and she walks so soft
the Wandering girl
oh the light she brought
The girl who walks the world
