Perfect water The dark wind braids the waves The crazed birds raid the trees Is this our destiny? To join our hands at sea And slowly sink, and slowly think This is perfect water, passing over me . . .
Do you know jacques cousteau? Well, they said on the radio That he hears bells in random order Deep breaths beneath the perfect water
Love that is frightening But still so inviting To drown inside a sound That lay so far underground And to think . . . and to think This is perfect water passing over me
Refrain: To flow inside the spiral tide To drown my eyes like a blind ride And to cross the perils of black water It waits for me like mother and daughter A life of perfect order A strange and perfect water
Perfect water I dream this dream within the warm gulf stream Where two blocks of ice melt into my hands like dice And I roll seven on the floor of the sea And I feel the perfect water washing over me
