Stone (two songs)
The lone bird flies too high
to cast a shadow on the land.
The desert down below lies simmering.
A stone clad in a haze of heat
leans into a wind that doesn’t come.
(CHORUS:
To be without you now;
without hope, without shade.)
The branches of the tree reach down
and almost touch the silver stream.
A stone breaks through
the surface of the river
and diamond-fractured glistens.
(CHORUS:
Ah, to be with you;
to be with you again.)
